SYNOPSIS: In the era of big data, effective use of increasingly larger, complex, and diverse datasets has become a critical challenge for healthcare transformation. To meet the challenge, the scientific community must deliver innovative and scalable frameworks for interpreting the influx of information to keep pace with rapid scientific developments. The mission of a national lab is to enable scientific innovations and transformative technical breakthroughs for grand challenges by leveraging unique resources. ORNL is taking on this "Big Data to Knowledge" challenge for health innovations via its Health Data Sciences Institute (HDSI). In this presentation Dr. Tourassi will discuss informatics innovations coordinated by the institute to expand and accelerate biomedical knowledge discovery. Dr. Tourassi will illustrate the value of these innovations with two cancer-related examples from precision medicine and population health. The first example will demonstrate how linking of heterogeneous information across The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) can provide novel insights into cancer-specific mutations at the individual level that can then directly inform molecular epidemiology of specific tumor states. The second example will demonstrate the use of cyber-informatics to accelerate discoveries in environmental cancer epidemiology. Underlying the two applications is a powerful semantic reasoning framework built at ORNL that enables seamless hypotheses generation for exploratory research. |
