This workshop will provide a valuable opportunity for U.S. and Israeli experts in the fields of clinical data mining, data analytics and precision medicine to meet to discuss their respective research efforts and the potential for partnerships. The goal of the workshop is to create mutually beneficial research collaborations that will improve research efforts in computing for precision medicine applications. The research collaborations that are formed will potentially result in improvements in personalized medicine that can lead to better medical outcomes for people in the U.S. and around the world. Connecting top U.S. researchers in the academic and private sector with their counterparts in Israel has strong potential to improve data analytics for precision medicine applications, resulting in better analyses, more accurate diagnoses, more effective treatments and improved therapeutic success rates. The NSF has funded several Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers (I/UCRCs) with focus on this area, notably the Center for Advanced Knowledge Enablement (CAKE) and the Center for Hybrid Multicore Productivity Research (CHMPR) whose members and affiliates will contribute the majority of the U.S. participants to this meeting. Israeli participants will include primarily researchers from the Technion (Israel Institute of Technology), Tel Aviv University and representatives from Israeli businesses working in data analytics and precision medicine applications, as well as Israeli government personnel interested in encouraging pre-competitive, industry-supported research and partnership with US researchers in these areas. This meeting is timely and of strategic value because of the noted expertise of Israeli researchers in the academic and industrial sector in both data analytics and personalized medicine and because of the investments that Israel is making in industry-relevant basic research. This meeting provides a tremendous opportunity for new collaborations to be initiated which are likely to be of tremendous value to advancing U.S. research efforts on information technologies for precision medicine. In addition, new international partners may be recruited to join U.S. I/UCRCs and new market opportunities will be discovered by the U.S. I/UCRC members.

本次研讨会将为美国和以色列在临床数据挖掘、数据分析和精准医学领域的专家提供一个宝贵的机会，讨论他们各自的研究工作和合作潜力。该研讨会的目标是建立互利的研究合作，以改善精准医学应用计算方面的研究工作。形成的研究合作将可能导致个性化医疗的改进，从而为美国和世界各地的人们带来更好的医疗结果。将美国学术界和私营部门的顶尖研究人员与以色列的同行联系起来，有很大的潜力改善精准医学应用的数据分析，从而实现更好的分析、更准确的诊断、更有效的治疗和更高的治疗成功率。美国国家科学基金会资助了几个行业/大学合作研究中心（I/UCRC），重点关注这一领域，特别是先进知识支持中心（CAKE）和混合多核生产力研究中心（CHMPR），其成员和附属机构将为本次会议的大部分美国与会者提供资金。以色列参与者将主要包括来自Technion（以色列理工学院）、特拉维夫大学的研究人员和从事数据分析和精准医学应用的以色列企业代表，以及有兴趣鼓励竞争前、行业支持的以色列政府人员研究以及与美国研究人员在这些领域的合作伙伴关系。这次会议是及时的，具有战略价值，因为以色列研究人员在学术和工业部门在数据分析和个性化医疗方面的专业知识，以及以色列在工业相关基础研究方面的投资。这次会议为新的合作提供了一个巨大的机会，这些合作可能对推进美国在精准医学信息技术方面的研究工作具有巨大价值。此外，新的国际合作伙伴可能会被招募加入U.S. I/UCRC，新的市场机会将被U.S. I/UCRC成员发现。
