Multimodal Bio-Medical Systems Workshop; Bethesda, MD; October 2004

0443706Won该奖项支持2004年10月举办的跨学科研讨会--多模式生物医疗系统。其目标是识别和突出新的计算范式和信息基础设施问题，以收集、处理、分析、集成、建模、综合和模拟海量异质、多模式、多尺度数据，用于新兴的现实世界生命科学应用，特别是在系统生物学、生物标记物和药物开发、环境和公共卫生领域。这些场景中涉及的数据的特征包括：(1)大容量，(2)多模式，(3)多生物尺度，(4)异质，(5)通常分布，以及(6)需要系统生物学和综合症方法。由生物、工程和医学研究领域的40位顶尖专家和思想领袖组成的精选小组将被邀请参加。此外，两位国际知名工业专家将发表演讲并参加研讨会讨论。研讨会委员会将把讨论摘要整合和综合成一份可发表的报告，包括具有挑战性和正在出现的多尺度、多模型生命科学应用的问题陈述，以及向相关联邦资助机构建议的研究方向和计划建立。研讨会将在马里兰州贝塞斯达的国家医学图书馆的利斯特·希尔礼堂举行。

0443706WongThis award supports an interdisciplinary workshop, Multimodal Bio-Medical Systems in October 2004. The goal is to identify and highlight new computational paradigms and information infrastructure issues to collect, process, analyze, integrate, model, synthesize, and simulate vast amounts of heterogeneous multi-modal, multi-scale data for emerging real-world life science applications, especially in the domains of systems biology, biomarker and drug development, environmental and public health. The characteristics of the data involved in these scenarios includes: (1) large volume, (2) multiple modalities, (3) multiple biological scale, (4) heterogeneous, (5) often distributed, and (6) requiring systems biology and syndromic approaches. A select group of forty leading experts and thought leaders in the fields of biology, engineering, and medical research will be invited to attend. In addition, two well-known international experts in industry will give presentations and be engaged in workshop discussions. The workshop committee will integrate and synthesize the discussion summaries into a publishable report, including the problem statements of the challenging and emerging multi-scale, multi-model life science applications and suggested research directions and program establishment to the relevant federal funding agencies. This workshop will be held in the Lister Hill Auditorium of the National Library of Medicine in Bethesda, Maryland.
