EScience Seminar: Collaborative Clinical Genomics Data Analysis with Sage Bionetworks Synapse
Please join us Tuesday, February 7th, 4-5pm in EE303. Refreshments (drinks and pizza) will be provided.
Mike Kellen (Sage Bionetworks)
Dr. Kellen is Director of Technology and Software Development at Sage Bionetworks, a non-profit research institute focused on improving human health by promoting open science.
The past two decades have seen an exponential growth in the technical ability to generate genetic and biomolecular data fueled by advances in measurement technologies. However, with a few exceptions, these data have failed to improve prevention or treatment of common human disease. A fundamental reason for this discrepancy between data generation and clinical improvement is the immature development of analytical techniques to meaningfully interpret these new data types. As with any new field, analytical methodologies need to be iteratively developed and refined. The difficulty of accessing, understanding, and reusing data, analysis methods, or models of disease across multiple labs with complimentary fields of expertise is a major barrier to the effective interpretation of genomic data today. Additionally, much of the relevant data to answer a particular research question is spread among multiple public and private repositories. Sage Bionetworks' mission is to catalyze a cultural transition from the traditional single lab, single-company, and single-therapy research paradigm to a model founded on broad precompetitive collaboration on analysis of large-scale biological data. In this talk we will focus on the technology component of Sage Bionetworks' solution strategy, Synapse, an informatics platform for open data-driven collaborative research. Synapse provides programmatic access to a variety of clinical and genomic data sets, tracking of analysis workflows, and integration with common analysis tools like R/Bioconductor.
