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

该奖项于2004年10月资助了一个跨学科研讨会，名为“多模式生物医学系统”。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，合成和模拟大量异构多模态，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，生物标志物和药物开发，环境和公共卫生领域。这些场景中涉及的数据特征包括：(1)大容量，(2)多种模式，(3)多种生物尺度，(4)异质性，(5)通常分布，(6)需要系统生物学和综合征方法。将邀请生物学、工程学和医学研究领域的40位顶尖专家和思想领袖参加会议。此外，两位国际知名的工业专家将作报告并参与研讨会讨论。研讨会委员会将对讨论总结进行整合和综合，形成一份可发表的报告，包括对具有挑战性和新兴的多尺度、多模式生命科学应用的问题陈述，以及向相关联邦资助机构提出的研究方向和项目建立建议。本次研讨会将在马里兰州贝塞斯达国家医学图书馆的Lister Hill礼堂举行。

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.
