<p>Scholar Profile</p>

<p>Title:  "From Molecules to the Clinic:  Building the Health Data Utility of Tomorrow"</p>

<p>Abstract: A core goal of biomedical informatics is to support clinical decision making with the right data, in the right way, to the right person, and at the right time. The promise of genomic medicine complements this goal by introducing molecular information that can refine our understanding of disease risk, biological variation, and therapeutic response. Despite the potential to connect molecular and clinical data to inform clinical decision making, these domains largely remain separate in practice. The emergence of the health data utility (HDU) concept offers an opportunity to bridge this divide by treating longitudinal, multisource health data, including both molecular and clinical data, as ubiquitous infrastructure for supporting clinical care, public health, population health, and research. This presentation will trace a trajectory from translational bioinformatics to regional health information exchange and the emerging HDU model, illustrating how diverse data can be integrated to support clinical and population-level decision making. In so doing, the presentation will propose a framework for a next-generation HDU that integrates molecular, clinical, public health, social, and environmental data to support decision making across individual and population contexts.</p>

The sessions are participatory with a facilitated discussion about mentoring topics and case studies. The topics are aligned with common themes that emerge in any mentoring relationship.</p>

<p>We provide case studies and resources for participants to review outside of the course, with the 1-hour virtual weekly meeting serving as a forum to discuss mentoring topics, emerging issues, and case studies of interest to participants within that theme.</p>

<p>Discussions include all participants, whether they are new to the mentoring process or experienced mentors. This inclusive format allows individuals at any level to participate and learn. Sessions are not recorded to allow a free discussion.</p>

<p>WHAT: A series of eight presentations on topics related to the nuances of the mentor-mentee relationship.</p>

<p>WHERE: Online via Zoom</p>

<p>WHEN: Tuesdays, 11am-12pm, September 8-November 3, 2026 </p>

<p>WHO: Open to investigators at any level from across the CCTS Partner Network, from pre-doctoral students to seasoned faculty members who mentor developing research scientists.</p>

<p>WHY: Investigators will discover new strategies in mentoring and be better prepared to handle mentoring challenges that may arise in their laboratories.</p>

<p>CERTIFICATION: Participants who complete seven of the eight topics in this series will receive a certificate of completion suitable for departmental review and academic promotion. If participants are unable to attend all of the sessions required at one time, please return and complete the session(s) you missed to receive a certificate upon completion. Partial attendance at a session will not count towards a certificate.</p>

<p>REGISTRATION: Pre-registration is requested so that participants have access to prepratory materials, but day-of participation is welcome.</p>

The sessions are participatory with a facilitated discussion about mentoring topics and case studies. The topics are aligned with common themes that emerge in any mentoring relationship.</p>

<p>We provide case studies and resources for participants to review outside of the course, with the 1-hour virtual weekly meeting serving as a forum to discuss mentoring topics, emerging issues, and case studies of interest to participants within that theme.</p>

<p>Discussions include all participants, whether they are new to the mentoring process or experienced mentors. This inclusive format allows individuals at any level to participate and learn. Sessions are not recorded to allow a free discussion.</p>

<p>WHAT: A series of eight presentations on topics related to the nuances of the mentor-mentee relationship.</p>

<p>WHERE: Online via Zoom</p>

<p>WHEN: Tuesdays, 11am-12pm, September 8-November 3, 2026 </p>

<p>WHO: Open to investigators at any level from across the CCTS Partner Network, from pre-doctoral students to seasoned faculty members who mentor developing research scientists.</p>

<p>WHY: Investigators will discover new strategies in mentoring and be better prepared to handle mentoring challenges that may arise in their laboratories.</p>

<p>CERTIFICATION: Participants who complete seven of the eight topics in this series will receive a certificate of completion suitable for departmental review and academic promotion. If participants are unable to attend all of the sessions required at one time, please return and complete the session(s) you missed to receive a certificate upon completion. Partial attendance at a session will not count towards a certificate.</p>

<p>REGISTRATION: Pre-registration is requested so that participants have access to prepratory materials, but day-of participation is welcome.</p>

<p>Visit go.uab.edu/ccts-mentoring for a detailed session agenda and to register.</p>

The sessions are participatory with a facilitated discussion about mentoring topics and case studies. The topics are aligned with common themes that emerge in any mentoring relationship.</p>

<p>We provide case studies and resources for participants to review outside of the course, with the 1-hour virtual weekly meeting serving as a forum to discuss mentoring topics, emerging issues, and case studies of interest to participants within that theme.</p>

<p>Discussions include all participants, whether they are new to the mentoring process or experienced mentors. This inclusive format allows individuals at any level to participate and learn. Sessions are not recorded to allow a free discussion.</p>

<p>WHAT: A series of eight presentations on topics related to the nuances of the mentor-mentee relationship.</p>

<p>WHERE: Online via Zoom</p>

<p>WHEN: Tuesdays, 11am-12pm, September 8-November 3, 2026 </p>

<p>WHO: Open to investigators at any level from across the CCTS Partner Network, from pre-doctoral students to seasoned faculty members who mentor developing research scientists.</p>

<p>WHY: Investigators will discover new strategies in mentoring and be better prepared to handle mentoring challenges that may arise in their laboratories.</p>

<p>CERTIFICATION: Participants who complete seven of the eight topics in this series will receive a certificate of completion suitable for departmental review and academic promotion. If participants are unable to attend all of the sessions required at one time, please return and complete the session(s) you missed to receive a certificate upon completion. Partial attendance at a session will not count towards a certificate.</p>

<p>REGISTRATION: Pre-registration is requested so that participants have access to prepratory materials, but day-of participation is welcome.</p>

<p>Visit go.uab.edu/ccts-mentoring for a detailed session agenda and to register.</p>
