Every year, March comes in like a lion. For CLE, that could translate into a spring blizzard or early bulbs. It’s anyone’s guess. One thing’s for sure, though–AMIA’s Informatics Summit has a say before March leaves us like a lamb. Like clockwork, the 2019 AMIA Informatics Summit, formerly the Joints Summits on Translational Science, was […]

The little paper that could.  What that might be?  You know, that little project based on a small sample size that generated big opportunities.  Ever had one of those?  Well, we recently did. The “we” in this post was our MetroHealth/Institute for Computational Biology Pilot study, affectionately known as MIPs.  Collaborators Drs. John Sedor and […]
