Biomedical experiments generate a vast amount of data that needs to be organized, integrated and analyzed. Important research challenges in the retrieval of these data include flexible, integrated analysis of data held in existing heterogeneous data sources. Indeed, the problems of supporting ad hoc queries across multiple data sources and correlating the data retrieved pose a host of challengi...

C.-E.A. Winslow was the first chairman of the Department of Public Health at the Yale University School of Medicine. This paper considers the development and changing agenda of his department, the structure of Yale University, and the maturation of public health as a discipline.
