16th Current Topics in Bioinformatics: (Deep) Learning from -OMICS Data?

16:00 till 20:00 o'clock

Web-Seminar

With the increase of OMICS techniques a huge amount of molecular data are generated in modern biomedical research. In combination with medical images and clinical data, the field of omics revolutionized the implementation of personalized medicine. The related biomedical and OMICS datasets are complex and heterogeneous. To get out the relevant and meaningful knowledge from this vast amount of information is one of the most important challenge for bioinformatics and machine learning researchers. This rises the interest and strenghend the potential of deep learning methods to create predictive models and to identify complex patterns from these large datasets. 
This year the conference 16th Current Topics of Bioinfomatics deals with deep learning techniques and the significance of OMICS data. We raises the questions what we can learn from OMICS data and how do we handle the huge datasets and what does that mean for future medicine.

About the event
“Current Topics in Bioinformatics” is an annual symposium bringing together the local actors in Bioinformatics from academia and industry in the Berlin-Brandenburg region. The series was founded in 2003 by the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics (MPIMG) together with the Healthcare Industries Cluster from HealthCapital Berlin-Brandenburg. Since 2019, a Steering Committee including Bayer, the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics, Berlin and the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) has been established to further advance the series and establish it as the annual meeting of Bioinformaticians in the Berlin-Brandenburg region.
