Workshop will be from 1:00 - 4:00 pm at 2115 Wisconsin Ave. NW, Suite 106 Washington, DC 20007 (spaces limited - workshop registration required). - *"High Dimensional Data Visualization & Analysis in R"* presented by Dr. Simina Boca and Dr. Matthew McCoy. Workshop will be from 10:00 am - 1:00 pm at 2115 Wisconsin Ave. NW, Suite 106, Washington, DC 20007 (spaces limited - workshop registration required). - *"EHR Data access and analysis" *presented by Dr. Ian Brooks, PhD and Mr. Stephen Fernandez, MPH. Workshop will be from 1:00 - 4:00 pm at 2115 Wisconsin Ave. NW, Suite 106 Washington, DC 20007 (spaces limited - workshop registration required). *The workshops are scheduled for Thursday, Oct 25th - Location: ICBI Conference Room, Georgetown University: 2115 Wisconsin Avenue, Suite 106. Washington DC.* *Short description:* *1. Bioinformatics for Immuno-Oncology and Translational Research:* In this workshop, we will review major applications of Big Data, bioinformatics and systems biology for immuno-oncology research and development with major focus on translational research. We will provide a brief use'rs guide to open access on-line immuno-informatics resources and tools as well as overview of state of the art methodologies and approaches to utilizing a vast amount of information available through genome wide molecular profiling, next-generation sequencing, etc. Several case studies and brief live demos will be presented to illustrate the importance and added value of bioinformatics tools and resources for immuno-oncology. *Specific topics to be covered*: Bioinformatics for Immuno-Oncology and Translational Research - Overview of major applications of bioinformatics methodology in immuno-oncology - Open Access Bioinformatics Resources: online databases and tools that are available for immuno-oncology research - Case-studies for bioinformatics analysis in human cancers with immunology applications - Short live demo of online resources and tools - Future directions for immuno-oncology informatics *Instructor: * The workshop will be conducted by Dr. Yuriy Gusev, PhD. Associate Professor at ICBI, Georgetown University. For more information please contact Dr. Gusev at: [email protected]. *2. High Dimensional Data Visualization and Analysis in R:* In this workshop participants will be shown the nuts and bolts of a high dimensional data analysis in R. They will reproduce an analysis of metabolomics data, applied to a study of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. In particular, they will learn principles of data exploration, visualization (including principal components analysis), model fitting, and reproducible research. Participants should bring a laptop in order to follow along. *Instructors:* Dr. Simina Boca, PhD, Associate Professor at ICBI, Georgetown University, and Dr. Matthew McCoy, PhD, Associate Professor at ICBI, Georgetown University *3. EHR Data access and analysis:* The scientific utility of EHR-derived “routine” clinical data generated as a byproduct of care delivery has been previously demonstrated to enable many research projects and discoveries that improve healthcare and patient outcomes. In this 3 hour hands-on workshop, we explore the challenges of the secondary use of data in clinical information systems, learn the various data sources and data types stored in an EHR system. Participants will also design an observational study, extract and analyze data based on a defined use case. We will provide a de-identified EHR patients' dataset as well as access to tools for data analysis and visualization, including RStudio & trial versions of Tableau. We will contact participants directly with more details. *Instructors:* Dr. Ian Brooks, PhD and Mr. Stephen Fernandez, MPH For more information about the Symposium CLICK HERE <http://links.georgetown.mkt6170.com/ctt?kn=5&ms=MzY3NjY4MzkS1&r=NzQwNjI5ODQyMzgxS0&b=0&j=MTM4MTcxMzQxMgS2&mt=1&rt=0> https://icbi.georgetown.edu/ <http://links.georgetown.mkt6170.com/ctt?kn=4&ms=MzY3NjY4MzkS1&r=NzQwNjI5ODQyMzgxS0&b=0&j=MTM4MTcxMzQxMgS2&mt=1&rt=0> Innovation Center for Biomedical Informatics 2115 Wisconsin Avenue, NW.
