Workshops

Workshop Goals & Agenda:

There has recently been an explosion of public and proprietary healthcare and drug discovery data, and the development of powerful semantic, network and visualization technologies for integrating and mining these data, including the major E.U. sponsored OpenPHACTS project. These novel datasets and technologies open up many possibilities for drug discovery and translational medicine, including drug repurposing, target identification, gene-disease association and patient population mapping. In parallel, major efforts are underway such as the U.S. NCATS at NIH that support translational medicine and streamlined discovery of new medical therapies in the public sphere.

This small, focused workshop will bring together invited leading practitioners in semantic technologies, network science and visualization, and computational translational medicine to identify the most critical areas for collaboration between these fields to maximize impact on the next generation of disease treatments.
