November 4: Robert Grossman, Large Scale Data Commons for Genomic and Clinical Data
SYNOPSIS:
Open commons containing large amounts of public biomedical data from the research community have the potential to speed up the pace of medical research. We describe the development of a large-scale open source data commons for genomic and associated clinical data and some of our experiences with it. We also discuss some of the different public and private data partnerships that are emerging for sharing genomic data.
