The Emory University Libraries' Symposium on New Tools in Health Sciences

October 6 and 7th, 2008

The sessions on 6th of October will illuminate collaborations and connections across a range of scientific disciplines. Our keynote speaker will be Johan Bollen, who will address new approaches to measuring scholarly research and impact. Other symposium topics will include interdisciplinary collaborations and mining texts for new knowledge. The day will conclude with a round table expanding on the day’s discussions and exploring future directions.

The sessions on October 7th will focus on new advances in health informatics. The keynote speaker, Isaac Kohane, will focus on biomedical informatics and developments that connect hospital systems together into ''living laboratories.'' A round-table will follow to discuss other advances in translating medical research into improved patient care, new approaches to integrating evidence and informatics at the point of care, and new tools to leverage authoritative data sets.
