This NIA-funded intensive four-day workshop will employ the AD Knowledge Portal and other AD-relevant databases to provide hands-on training of the computational techniques and application of omics data resources to integrate and analyze multi-scale data from model systems and humans. Participants will gain knowledge and technical skills to conduct rigorous and reproducible computational research for more effective preclinical strategies in AD.
The workshop will bring together trainees, early-stage investigators, and expert faculty in bioinformatics, omics technologies, mouse genetics, and preclinical and clinical studies at the intersection of translational research in aging and AD.
Workshop Highlights
- Bioinformatics training facilitated by experts from theMODEL-AD consortium and Sage Bionetworks, including how to use the AD Knowledge Portal and other AD-relevant databases effectively.
- Interactive evening forums designed for networking, collaboration and open discussion in an inclusive environment, where you can receive feedback on your research projects.
- Discussions focused on current and emerging models of AD, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in AD research, AD drug development and clinical trials, and the ethical and rigorous application of omics-driven research and data re-use in AD.
