Investigators using genomic and proteomic approaches to study critical
illness face major challenges unique to these
methods that push the envelope in regards to
resources, experimental designs, and data analysis.
Investigations in critically ill or injured
patients have special requirements related
to safety, vulnerability, and privacy, while genomic research
itself raises additional ethical considerations.
Importantly, this venue is solely focused on
the ethical, safe, and scientifically rigorous
application of genomic technology to study
critical illness and injury. The objectives
of these yearly Symposia are three-fold: education,
consensus, and collaboration. The first two
Symposia provided an educational forum for
those interested in new high-throughput technologies, systems
biology, computational biology, and bioinformatics.
The third Symposium reached consensus on research
priorities for applying high-dimensional
biotechnologies to the study of critically
ill and injured patients. This year’s theme is “Surviving
Stress: Organ Systems to Molecules.” Our scientific sessions
are dedicated to a range of topics including
a systems approach to the
biology of stress, an update on pharmacogenomics,
and a session that reviews recent progress
across a number of multidisciplinary research networks.
