Deepak Khazanchi, Ph.D.

Deepak Khazanchi, Ph.D., of the University of Nebraska at Omaha, will present the monthly UNMC Clinical and Translational Research Seminar today at noon in the Eppley Science Hall Amphitheater.

Dr. Khazanchi, associate dean for academic affairs and professor of information systems and quantitative analysis in the UNO College of Information Science and Technology, will discuss how theories and lessons from informational technology advances can help biomedical researchers.

Dr. Khazanchi also plans to highlight some theories, tools, practices and lessons that scientists may find useful as they think about how knowledge from IT disciplines can be used in clinical and translational research.

The seminar will be recorded and available for investigators who cannot attend. Because the seminar is on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, it may not be televised at all the usual satellite spots around the state. For those not on the Omaha campus, please check your local program schedules to see if the seminar will be televised near you.

The clinical and translational research seminars are held on the third Monday of each month at noon in the Eppley Science Hall Amphitheater.

The next seminar in the series will be on Monday, Feb. 18 when Jane Meza, Ph.D., associate professor in the College of Public Health, presents “Center for Collaboration on Research Design and Analysis: Research support opportunities from the College of Public Health.”

If you have any questions about the seminars or a desire to present at a future seminar, contact Brian Shotwell at bshotwell@unmc.edu or Jennifer Larsen, M.D., at jlarsen@unmc.edu.
