Analysis of Large-Scale Biobanks and Whole Genome Sequencing Studies
Speaker: Dr. Xihong Lin, Professor of Biostatistics and Statistics, Harvard University & Broad Institute
Date/Time: January 11 at 1 pm EST (10 am PST)
Registration (Required!): Register Here
Abstract: Big data from genome, exposome, and phenome are becoming available at a rapidly increasing rate with no apparent end in sight. Examples include Whole Genome Sequencing data, smartphone data, wearable devices, and Electronic Health Records (EHRs). A rapidly increasing number of large scale national and institutional biobanks have emerged worldwide. Biobanks integrate genotype, electronic health records, and lifestyle data, and is the trend of health science research. In this talk, I discuss opportunities, analytic tools and resources, and challenges presented by large scale biobanks and population-based Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) studies of common and rare genetic variants and EHRs. The discussions are illustrated using ongoing large scale whole genome sequencing studies of the Genome Sequencing Program of the National Human Genome Research Institute and the Trans-Omics Precision Medicine Program from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, and the UK Biobank and FinnGen.

Fundamentals in Neuro Data Science
May 6 to 11 2019
Neuroscientists rely increasingly on data accessible online and on data science procedures for their investigations. Data science now offers a key set of tools and methods to efficiently analyse, visualize and interpret neuroscience data. Concurrently, there is a growing concern in the life sciences that many results produced are difficult or even impossible to reproduce. This is referred to as the reproducibility crisis, which concerns most of biomedical fields F. Collin.
