Abstract

The University of Tennessee (UT) and the Kentucky Biomedical Research Infrastructure Network (KBRIN) have collaborated over the past fourteen years to share research and educational expertise in bioinformatics. One result is an annual regional summit for researchers, educators and students. The Fourteenth Annual UT- KBRIN Bioinformatics Summit was held at Paris Landing State Park in Buchanan, Tennessee from March 20-22, 2015. A total of 200 participants pre-registered, with 115 from Tennessee, 69 from Kentucky, and the remainder from various states and international locales. Among the registrants were 70 faculty, 65 students, 40 staff, and 23 postdocs. The conference program consisted of a workshop on R and three days of presentations broken into plenary sessions: Where are They Now, Medical Informatics, and Epigenetics. In addition, a poster session with 42 posters was held on Saturday evening.
