SYNOPSIS: The presentation will cover two major resources containing phenotype data and will discuss issues involving the integration of human and model-organism phenotype data. The generation of an interactive map of human phenotype data associated with GWAS data will first be explored, followed by the presentation of data resources that form part of the Knockout Mouse Project 2, which is funded by the NIH, the European Union, the Wellcome Trust, Canada, and the Texas Enterprise Fund.

BIO:
Helen Parkinson’s Ph.D. work was devoted to studying Circadian rhythms in Drosophila. She then worked on a positional cloning project for primary pulmonary hypertension and diagnostic-test development for hypophosphatasia. Dr. Parkinson moved to the European Bioinformatics Institute in 2000 where she leads the Functional Genomics Production Team. Her group of 15 scientists provides content for the ArrayExpress, Gene Expression Atlas, and Biosamples databases; develops open-source management and integration software; supports users of these resources; and develops and applies ontologies, primarily the Experimental Factor Ontology, to these data. Her research interests include the development of ontologies, data integration using RDF and meta-analyses of gene-expression data, and the development of automated data-curation processes.
Dr. Parkinson works collaboratively with 10 NIH and EC consortia to manage, integrate and analyse functional genomics datasets, including
- Knockout Mouse Project 2
- NHGRI GWAS catalog
- EBI’s National Center for BioOntology Driving Biological Project
A list of recent publications and presentations is available from Dr. Parkinson’s group pages.
The Parkinson team 2011 Annual Report provides more information.

SYNOPSIS:The Brazilian Telehealth initiative enables videoconferencing, diagnosis, second opinion, continuous and permanent education, and web conferencing by linking university and teaching hospitals via the Rede Nacional de Ensino e Pesquisa (RNP) , Brazil’s national research and education network. Three national projects operate under the Brazilian Telehealth Initiative: the Telemedicine University Network, RUTE (Rede Universitaria de Telemedicina) ; the Brazilian Health Open University ; and the National Telehealth Primary Care Program, Brazil Telehealth RUTE is an initiative from the Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry (MCTI), and the other two are Ministry of Health initiatives. Today, there are eHealth Centers in 61 university and teaching hospitals, including one at the Brazilian National Cancer Institute (INCA). Session details ...

SYNOPSIS:The Translational Medicine Mart (tranSMART) is a new, open-source platform for translational research originally based on the NIH-funded Informatics for Integrating Biology and the Bedside (i2b2) initiative. Key use cases that tranSMART focuses upon include knowledge management for the combination of clinical and molecular data sets for use in ad-hoc analyses; identification of novel biomarkers associated with stratifications of disease or treatment response; and selection of potential indications for novel and known treatments targeting common molecular pathways. The presentation will include a live demonstration of the current release of the software to highlight key capabilities. Session details ...
