Listen Later

Summary
In this episode of the Bioinformatics Lab podcast, Kevin Libuit and Krisandra Allen discuss the integration of bioinformatics and epidemiology, focusing on the challenges and solutions in utilizing genomic sequencing data for infectious disease surveillance. They explore the roles of epidemiologists and bioinformaticians, the importance of communication and collaboration, and the need for bi-directional learning to enhance public health practices. The conversation emphasizes the significance of building relationships and understanding each other's fields to effectively turn sequencing data into actionable insights for disease control.
Takeaways
Epidemiologists work on the front lines of public health.
Genomic data can help build and confirm hypotheses in investigations.
Integrating genetic data with epidemiological data enhances disease surveillance.
Surveillance systems must be designed to drive public health action.
Communication between labs and epidemiologists is crucial for effective data use.
Bi-directional learning is essential for both epidemiologists and bioinformaticians.
Genomic epidemiologists can bridge the gap between bioinformatics and epidemiology.
Building relationships is the first step towards effective collaboration.
Training opportunities should be available for both sides to learn from each other.
Collaboration is key to successfully integrating bioinformatics into public health.
