The overall goal of the Data Management and Bioinformatics (DMBI) Core is to develop and implement new and enhanced computational resources that support a systems biology approach to Hospital Acquired Pneumonia (HAP), and to share those resources broadly. The design and implementation of the DMBI Core is based on optimizing the utility of data generated from both the clinical and laboratory settings – including phenomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics, and meta-genomics. Our systems biology approach affords equal opportunity for discoveries across all data sources to produce significant findings. Achieving the broader goals of this project will require the seamless integration of clinical data with molecular profiling data on both host and pathogen.
