Regenstrief Institute informaticians and other data experts will share their research insights and innovations from November 15-19 during the 2025 American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) Annual Symposium in Atlanta, Georgia.
AMIA’s Annual Symposium is the premier medical informatics event, presenting leading-edge scientific research and a wide array of scientific sessions. The symposium presents work from across the spectrum of the informatics field – translational bioinformatics, clinical research informatics, clinical informatics, consumer health informatics and public health informatics.
Regenstrief experts will contribute to the symposium through poster presentations, expert panels, workshops and podium abstracts. Representing every stage of the research career ladder — from pre-doctoral fellows and postdoctoral trainees to seasoned research scientists — Regenstrief will be well-represented across the conference.
