"Emory University and Georgia Tech will launch a multiyear, multimillion-dollar project Monday to remake U.S. health care — a bold effort that plays to the schools' strengths in biomedical and engineering research but carries wide ethical, legal and economic complications.

The project, dubbed the Predictive Health Initiative, combines genetics, nanotechnology, information technology and cutting-edge patient care into a new type of medicine that aims to stop disease before it starts."

"The initiative and conference will explore a discipline that is so new its leading researchers cannot agree what to call it — predictive, personalized, preventive or pre-emptive — and that relies on scientific specialties most Americans may not recognize: proteomics, epigenetics, bioinformatics and computational biology."

Bioinformatics will be at the core of biology in the 21st century. In fields ranging from structural biology to genomics to biomedical imaging, ready access to data and analytical tools are fundamentally changing the way investigators in the life sciences conduct research and approach problems. Complex, computationally intensive biological problems are now being addressed and promise to significantly advance our understanding of biology and medicine. No biological discipline will be unaffected by these technological breakthroughs.
