In presentations by local experts, invited guests and DCIC members, a poster reception, and several working sessions, the symposium will show the tools/resources and scientific projects at the Data Coordination and Integration Center (DCIC), connect developers with users, initiate new collaborations, and obtain feedback from expert and casual users of computational systems biology resources. Undergraduate/graduate students and postdoctoral researchers are invited to participate in both sessions, the first at the Lois Pope LIFE Center on the Miller School campus on Tuesday, January 19, and the second one at the Toppel Career Center on the Coral Gables campus on Wednesday, January 20. To register, visit the symposium registration.
The LINCS consortium is an NIH Common Fund program to create a systems biology reference resource, including a “library” of molecular signatures, such as changes in gene expression and other cellular phenotypes that occur when cells are exposed to a variety of perturbing agents, and computational tools for data integration, access, and analysis. The LINCS program consists of six LINCS Data and Signature Generation Centers and the BD2K-LINCS Data Coordination and Integration Center (DCIC), which operates in synergy with the NIH Big Data to Knowledge (BD2K) consortium.
