Biomedical Informatics is the interdisciplinary science of acquiring, structuring,
analyzing and providing access to biomedical data, information and knowledge.
Some of the basic tools of Biomedical Informatics include optimization, control,
data mining, and knowledge discovery techniques.

In this talk we are going to cover a spectrum of biomedical problems where these
techniques have been used successfully. These problems arise in brain
dynamics, drug toxicity, and cancer data analysis.
