The Biomedical Informatics Key Function's ultimate goal is to establish and maintain an integrated informatics infrastructure that effectively supports clinical and translational research at the University of Iowa and across the national consortium. We offer useful and accessible knowledge resources for researchers in the form of a federated infrastructure (a broad selection of local and national databases combined into a single virtual framework). These interconnected resources are fully capable of capturing, archiving, and managing all the various technological forms and mediums involved with conducting biomedical research.
