Happy holidays from all of us at UAB DBIDS.
If your research requires real-world clinical evidence—structured data, text data, or national-scale datasets—this workshop is built to empower your next project. Meet us in ALGEN Room 201.
Investigators increasingly need access to high-quality real-world population data to launch studies, validate hypotheses, and accelerate funding. This workshop is designed to meet those needs by illustrating how to tap into UAB’s powerful ecosystem of patient data resources.
Join us tomorrow, Dec. 9 at 1 p.m. for Data 2 Discovery: Accelerating Research with Real-World Evidence from Local and National Datasets
This Friday, Dec. 5. at 10 a.m., join us in person for our chair's annual presentation, “Biomedical Informatics Year in Review.”
James Cimino, M.D., Distinguished Professor and chair, will spotlight developments in biomedical informatics from the past year.
