• Tamas Budavari
• An IDIES Bi-Monthly Seminar

Biography: Tamás Budavári’s primary interest is in cosmology, large-scale structure, and galaxy evolution. He has been focusing on various statistical and computational challenges in astronomy as modern detector technology is rapidly changing the way science is done. Large projects he has worked on, including the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, pioneered much of the new methodology. … Continued

Abstract A growing disparity between supercomputer computation speeds and I/O rates makes it increasingly infeasible for applications to save all results for offline analysis. Instead, applications must analyze and reduce data online so as to output only those results needed to answer target scientific question(s). This change in focus complicates application and experiment design and … Continued

• A Genomics@JHU Seminar

Abstract: Dysregulated epigenetic developmental programs are a feature of many cancers, and the diverse differentiation states of immune cells as well as their dysfunctional states in tumors are in part epigenetically encoded. We developed an integrative computational strategy to exploit genome-wide data on chromatin accessibility (DNase-seq or ATAC-seq), histone modifications (ChIP-seq), and transcription (RNA-seq) in … Continued

• Benjamin Haibe-Kains
• A Genomics@JHU Seminar

Abstract: The success of precision medicine largely relies on comprehensive characterization of patient tumors and their derived model systems to select the best therapy for each individual patient. Recent initiatives generated massive amounts of molecular data for healthy (GTEx) and tumor (TCGA) tissues from patients, as well as patient-derived cancer cell lines (Cancer Cell Line … Continued

• An IDIES Bi-Monthly Seminar

Abstract: Data science has emerged as a distinct discipline that has also become a power enabler of science and engineering. In its deep interactions with other disciplines it is an example of the scientific convergence, which is one of the Ten Big Ideas for Future NSF Investments. The rapid growth of data science raises deep … Continued

• Joe Pickrell
• A Genomics@JHU Seminar

Abstract: A primary goal of human genetics is to understand the genetic causes of phenotypic variation. Recent successes in genome-wide association studies have shown that achieving this goal requires collecting and analyzing data at scale. I will discuss projects that center around this thesis. First, I will discuss analyses of the genetics of lifespan in … Continued
