As more and more research data become available, we are able to build on this information and to achieve better research results more quickly.  This presentation will show several bioinformatics related databases and programs supported by the National Institutes of Health help researchers share and learn from each other.  We will also describe how the research results are beneficial to public health. The NIH’s Bioinformatics Resource Center for viral families will be described in this presentation as well as he Immunology database and analysis portal (ImmPort) system.

Learning Areas:

Basic medical science applied in public health
Clinical medicine applied in public health
Other professions or practice related to public health
Protection of the public in relation to communicable diseases including prevention or control
Public health or related research

Learning Objectives:
Describe how bioinformatics databases are structured to help researchers share and build on research. Explain how clinical research relates to public health in practice.
