Presentation Transcript

  1. Bioinformatics Center of Expertise Jelle Goeman

  2. What is Bioinformatics? Medicine Computer Science Bioinformatics Biology Statistics Bioinformatics: Analyzing and connecting data from high throughput molecular biology and imaging Bioinformatics Center of Expertise

  3. High throughput Modern technologies produce massive amounts of data Bioinformatics Center of Expertise

  4. Connecting and analyzing • Analyzing: statistical and computational analysis, experimental design • Connecting: with databases (web), literature, making data accessible Bioinformatics Center of Expertise

  5. Bioinformatics at the LUMC Many departments have moved into bioinformatics Medical Statistics Statisticalbioinformatics Molecular Epidemiology Genetic population studies Human Genetics Bioinformatics of genomics Molecular Cell Biology Bioinformatics of imaging Parasitology Bioinformatics of proteomics Medical Microbiology Virology bioinformatics Pathology Bioinformatics of tumor genomics … more departments expected to follow Bioinformatics Center of Expertise

  6. The Bioinformatics Center of Expertise Joins together all bioinformaticians of the whole LUMC to • Make Bioinformatics expertise available to the whole LUMC • Exchange knowledge and facilitate cooperation between bioinformaticians • Organize courses in bioinformatics (researchers/students) A “virtual department” Bioinformatics Center of Expertise

  7. Human Genetics Judith Boer Peter-Bram ‘t Hoen Jan Bert van Klinken Barend Mons Marco Roos Peter Taschner Medical Microbiology Sasha Gorbalenya Igor Sidorov Molecular Cell Biology Raimond Ravelli Willem Sloos Hans Vrolijk Medical Statistics and Bioinformatics Stefan Böhringer Bas Heijmans Jeanine Houwing Joost Kok Bart Mertens Kai Ye Erik van Zwet Pathology Ronald van Eijk Jan Oosting Parasitology Yuri van der Burgt Magnus Palmblad Participants of the Center of Expertise Available to be consulted in their area of expertise Bioinformatics Center of Expertise

  8. How to find the expert you need? www.lumc.nl/bioinformatics Bioinformatics Center of Expertise

  9. The core OR: contact the core of the Center to be forwarded The core of the Center of Expertise • Jelle Goeman Coordinator, statistical aspects of bioinformatics • Scott Marshall Computer science aspects of bioinformatics • Ramin Monajemi Scientific programmer Bioinformatics Center of Expertise

  10. Schematic organization Bioinformaticians Users Participants Core Bioinformatics Center of Expertise

  11. What to expect? Consulting: two flavors • Advice • Expert opinion • Be pointed to software, references, courses, people • Scientific Collaboration • Regular advice throughout the project • Performing analyses What to give in return? • Consulting is free for all LUMC researchers • Collaborations should be rewarded with co-authorships Model: statistical consulting Bioinformatics Center of Expertise

  12. Seminar series Integrated data analysis in Epidemiology and Bioinformatics • Speakers from inside and outside LUMC • Broad range of subjects; broad audience; practical perspective • Integrated with • Human Genetics Genomics/Bioinformatics seminars • Genetic Epidemiology Theme Group • Organizers: Eline Slagboom, Judith Boer, Joost Kok, Jeanine Houwing, Jelle Goeman • Every 2 weeks on Tuesday 15:45 • More information on www.lumc.nl/bioinformatics Bioinformatics Center of Expertise

  13. Education and Teaching • Courses for researchers • Keep track of available courses (also elsewhere) • Jointly teach courses • MGC courses microarrays/nextgen sequencing (Judith Boer) • Set up new courses if necessary • Projects for students • Hogeschool Bioinformatica • Delft/LIACS Bioinformatics master • Moscow State University (Sasha Gorbalenya) Bioinformatics Center of Expertise

  14. Under development: the bioinformatics wiki www.bioexp.org (under construction) wiki: a web site that every LUMC researcher can read and edit • A fountain of information on bioinformatics • What courses to follow • What tools to use • A virtual coffee machine • Meet bioinformaticians • Discuss bioinformatics Bioinformatics Center of Expertise

  15. A Bioinformatics Center of Expertise Bioinformatics • Much expertise available at the LUMC • Added value in cooperation A Center of Expertise • Make knowledge of bioinformatics more easily available • Help all LUMC researchers to the right expertise quickly • Stimulate exchange between bioinformaticians Bioinformatics Center of Expertise
