  1. BIRN Update Carl Kesselman Professor of Industrial and Systems Engineering Information Sciences Institute Fellow Viterbi School of Engineering University of Southern California

  2. Biomedical Informatics Research Network • Infrastructure and services to support collaborative biomedical research • Established by NCRR in 2001. • Organized around coordinating center and testbeds

  3. Transition and Status • BIRN CC Transition from UCSD to new team completed May 2009. • BIRN Executive and Steering Committees functioning • Working Groups operating • Operations • Security • Data Management • Information Integration • Genomics • Knowledge Engineering

  4. BIRN Approach • Use-case driven requirements, bottom up design • Well defined roadmaps, features, functions • Layered architectural approach • Promote reuse across communities • Move to software and services model • BIRN not defined by the “rack” • Outreach to new communities • More than the testbeds

  5. Governance BIRN Executive Committee Steering Committee Community Outreach New and Existing Users/Collaborators Working Groups Data Management Information Integration BIRN CC Functions Infrastructure Communication Personnel Knowledge Engineering Operations Genomics Security TBD

  6. Common User Needs • Data sharing • Among well defined communities, e.g. CVRG • Facilitate sharing with the public • Infrastructure, e.g. grid FTP for sharing • Data Integration • Mediation across data sources / query • Security • Registration, credentials

  7. BIRN Capabilities (Now)

  8. BIRN Capabilities (Coming Soon)

  9. BIRN Testbeds • Function BIRN • Using Grid FTP • Data and tools transferred from old BIRN CC • Supplement on infrastructure • Mouse BIRN • MBAT demos with new communities, including NPRC • Morph BIRN • Data and tools supported

  10. Data Publishers FBIRN Data Grid Query HIDs HIDs Locate and Retrieve Data Register and Upload Data Data Users Replica Location Service Data Grid Replica Location GridFTP Servers Data Transfers and Replication

  11. FBIRN Data Integration:HID and XNAT User query: find all male patients over 50 with t1 scans Results integrated from XNAT and HID ISI Mediator XNAT query SQL query XML query HID results … XNAT HID Human Imaging Database Oracle DB EXtensible Neuroimaging Archive Toolkit Web service API

  12. New BIRN User Groups • Cardio Vascular Research Grid – CVRG • Data sharing solution built on MEDICUS • Data integration • Working through detailed use case • National Primate Research Center Consortium

  13. New BIRN User Groups • National Database for Autism Research - NDAR • NDAR reps working with BIRN WGs • Following FBIRN/Grid FTP model • CFIDS – foundation supporting chronic fatigue syndrome research • Sharing data between six sites • BIRN on their agenda for mid-Sept meeting • www.CFIDS.org

  14. New BIRN User Groups • Three projects are RO1s from the PA • Northwestern – Schizophrenia MRI and tool • UCI – Ontology project • UCSD – HeadIT – Electrophysiology data and tool • Preliminary interactions • CTSAs at Harvard, Chicago • National Eye Institute • National Institute of Neurological Disorders
