SESSION THEMES The "omics" revolutions has generated reams of data increasingly isolated from the larger complex biological context in which it exists, and as a result often with limited application. Systems biology, through combined application of system sciences, life sciences and informatics, aims to create a more holistic understanding of biological systems such as a single cell, organ or whole living organism. Come hear Dr Ramon Felciano of Ingenuity Systems, share how systems biology is rapidly evolving and increasingly becoming an important tool in applied research as well as in pharmaceutical discovery. SPEAKER Dr. Ramon Felciano, CTO and Vice President of Research, Ingenuity Systems

SUMMIT is a research and development center dedicated to the exploration of new applications of computers in medical education and information exchange, and to the construction of a rich, computer-based learning environment for the medical student and practitioner. Dr. Felciano is the founder of Digital Alchemy, a design and consulting firm based in Palo Alto, California which specializes in user interface design and evaluation, and in specialized software solutions for health care and technology markets.

Dr. Felciano holds a Ph.D. and M.S. in Biomedical Informatics, a B.S. in Computer Science and a B.A. in English and French Literature from Stanford University. While at Stanford, he performed research on innovative methods for designing intelligent user interfaces, scientific information visualization, and distributed knowledge-based biomedical information systems. Dr.Felciano's doctoral research was performed in the laboratory of Professor Russ Altman and focused on the automatic generation of biomedical graphics and their use as the bases for biomedical user interfaces. Dr. Felciano is a founding member of the RiboWeb, a project to build a World Wide Web-based knowledge base to support to collaborative molecular biology over the Internet. His other research efforts include Lamprey, a patented user tracking technology for the World Wide Web; and the study of Human Error in Medicine and its impact on the design of medical information systems. Dr. Felciano has authored several patents, articles and papers in journals such as Nature, Gene, ISMB, Briefings in Bioinformatics, AMIA, CHI, and STQE.
