Systems Biology of Cellular Perturbations
The BD2K-LINCS Data Coordination and Integration Center (DCIC) and the University of Cincinnati Medical Center present the second annual BD2K-LINCS Data Science Symposium (DSS 2017) on May 16-18, 2017.
The symposium will bring together data scientists and translational scientists from academia, industry and government to discuss uses of big data in biomedicine. The general theme of the symposium is the systems biology of perturbation signatures and applications in drug development, translational biomedicine and environmental health. Talks will address a range of issues related to leveraging Big Data in translational research including FAIR data principles and the emerging NIH Big Data ecosystem. The program will also provide a survey of data science research pertaining to BD2K (Big Data to Knowledge) and LINCS (Library of Network-Based Cellular Signatures) consortia.
The symposium will feature invited talks, poster session, and selected poster presentation sessions. Special session on Big Data in Environmental Health will be held in the afternoon of May 16. For the list of invited speakers please refer to the Agenda page. To participate, please register free of charge.
The BD2K-LINCS DCIC is part of the Big Data to Knowledge (BD2K) NIH initiative, and it is the data coordination center for the NIH Common Fund’s Library of Integrated Network-based Cellular Signatures (LINCS) program. The BD2K-LINCS DCIC supports data science research focused on developing methods that would further extract knowledge from LINCS data by integrating LINCS data with other relevant resources. The data science projects will address methodological and computational challenges related to such integrative analyses.
The BD2K-LINCS DCIC is co-funded by BD2K and the NIH Common Fund (NIH grant number: U54HL127624).
