Biomedical Informatics (J. Tcheng)

The Biomedical Informatics Core empowers investigators to be leaders in the impending global effort to redefine human disease by using combined clinical and molecular profiling and to measure changes in health status across multiple dimensions as a routine function of biomedical informatics.

Biostatistics (S. George)

As the practice of medicine becomes increasingly evidence-based and the wealth of information within medical and genomic databases grows dramatically, the core disciplines of biostatistics and computational biology are becoming increasingly important in medical research, training, and in the translation of research findings into practice.

Nursing

Duke SON and the DTMI work together to allow nurses to participate in large multidisciplinary efforts to train clinical investigators in translation science and to use nursing informatics and technology to rapidly collect data (e.g., nurse-sensitive indicators) from large-scale data sets and clinical repositories to develop and test approaches to gaining entrée to "pockets of risk" in clinical populations.

Child Health (J. Li)

The Child Health core resource enhances the health of children by fostering therapeutic discovery through collaborative clinical and translational research.

Regulatory Affairs (B. Burnett)

Regulatory Affairs provides leadership and facile infrastructure support for investigators specially designed to accelerate the pace of translational research projects while protecting the quality and integrity of the research process and the safety of human subjects.

Research Ethics (R. McKinney)

The Research Ethics core identifies ethical, legal, and policy issues encountered in carrying out clinical translational science and applies that science in practice, and identifies options to address those issues.

Training and Education (E. Oddone) (see Clinical Research Training Program - CRTP)

The Research Training, Education, and Career Development core resource provides opportunities for the investigators of tomorrow to develop their skills through didactic training and mentored research projects.
