The Center for Translational Bioinformatics (CTBI) stands at the forefront of transforming patient care by making applied precision medicine a reality on an institutional scale. The CTBI is dedicated to seamlessly bridging data from all facets of medical care and research, facilitating foundational and advanced analytics.

Mission

Precision Medicine is a transformational approach to patient care that has been targeted in different avenues of medical research for well over 20 years.

To enable the goal of applied precision medicine for patients on an institutional scale, data from all aspects of medical care and research must be continually leveraged. 

The Center for Translational BioInformatics (CTBI) was formed in 2024 in collaboration with the McDonnell Genome Institute to bridge these data and enable foundational and advanced analytics for not just linkage, but identifying causality and predicting outcomes.
