In this session we will share our approaches to developing data science training  – our plans\, our successes and our greatest challenges. An open discussion will explore areas for future collaboration and how we might work together to recognise those who dedicate their time\, usually on a volunteer basis\, to advanced scientific training. \n\n\n\n\nSession 2: Provision of public data services / computational tools of the SciLifeLab/EMBL-EBI \nExplore how to manage a portfolio of public computational tools and data services\, with real-world examples from both emerging and established resources\, and a panel discussion on the future challenges and opportunities for public data services \n\n\n\nIn this workshop: \n\n\n\n\nA keynote talk introduces key points of successfully managing a portfolio of data services\n\n\n\nOne emerging and one established data service summarize their management approach\n\n\n\nA panel discussion including other data service leads from EMBL-EBI and SciLifeLab discuss the future challenges and opportunities for public data services\n\n\n\n\n\nSession 3: Artificial intelligence\nIn this session we will focus on how to foster AI further (within EMBL-EBI and SciLifeLab) – What are the lessons learned during the last decade of incorporating learning-based methods using neural networks in biomedical research? Where lies the power\, and what are the limitations? How do we handle bottle-necks such as lack of reliably annotated training data\, and how do we avoid biases introduced by factors such as sample preparation and data collection? How can we include ‘the human in the loop’\, and how can we share models? \n\n\n\n\nSession 4: Integrated data management & Scientific workflow sharing\nModern\, data-intensive science requires complex and ideally reproducible workflows. Based on two opening presentations\, one from a complex “research” workflow background\, one from a repeatable “service” background\, and a subsequent panel discussion\, we want to explore \n\n\n\n\nWhat are the scientific demands and requirements for computational workflows?\n\n\n\nHow to strike the right balance between reproducibility and flexibility?\n\n\n\nWhat is the current status and future aspirations for technical support of computational workflows?\n\n\n\nWhat are the opportunities for coordination / integration of internal /external workflows between SciLifeLab and EMBL?\n\n\n\n\n\nSession 5: Technical infrastructure – computational solutions\nThe technical infrastructures and computational solutions provided by teams across EMBL and SciLifeLab are at the heart and the critical foundation of data science activities in both institutions. In this session\, we aim to initiate a cross-organizational dialogue and to set the stage for further networking among interested stakeholders to explore key IT and technical challenges and learn more about potential solutions being explored on both sides. \n\n\n\nThe session will start with four short presentations to stimulate the open discussion that will follow. Our input from the presentations will cover a wide range of technical topics and challenges: \n\n\n\ni) key aspects of using cloud services\, \n\n\n\nii) opportunities to improve scientific data management via dedicated IT solutions\, \n\n\n\niii) the challenges associated with shared analysis and transfer of (sensitive) data across centres\, and \n\n\n\niv) exploring the needs for next-gen computational\, data analytics\, and management services for data science in the life sciences. \n\n\n\n\nSession 6: Biological theme – imaging\nIn the imaging session we will discuss workflows from image data generation to data analysis and finally publication. Which paths does microscopy data take at EMBL and SciLifeLab? How can data analysis and data management be integrated early on in the project discussions? The session will also give an insight to which kind of imaging projects are handled at both EMBL and SciLifeLab\, since imaging data can have a broad range of characteristics and comes with different analysis and data management needs. \n\n\n\n\nSession 7: Biological theme – human data\nThe Human Data session will focus on challenges working with federated and multidimensional human data\, interfacing with national data \, e.g. Genomics Data Infrastructure (GDI; Persson) enabling realisation of the European 1+ Million Genome project\, and the experience of working at the interface of clinical research with industrial partners\, including the Mannheim alliance (Stegle) and precompetitive industrial collaborations\, e.g.OpenTargets (https://www.opentargets.org/). The session will have two presentations (Stegle\, Persson) followed by a panel discussion. It aims to define the skills set\, mindset\, technical solutions to address shared problems of human research data.  URL:https://www.scilifelab.se/event/embl-scilifelab-data-science-workshop/ LOCATION:Eva von Bahr\, Ångström Laboratory\, Uppsala University\, Uppsala\, Sweden CATEGORIES:Event END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20230324T090000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20230324T130000 DTSTAMP:20230316T094354Z CREATED:20230110T140542Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230316T094354Z UID:10000782-1679648400-1679662800@www.scilifelab.se SUMMARY:Data-driven life science and the RDA: Leveraging global data communities in regional initiatives and cross-border infrastructures DESCRIPTION:This workshop will showcase how to leverage the Research Data Alliance (RDA) to support life science research today and what role the RDA and international data infrastructures can play in the transition to an increasingly data-driven research practice. It is organised by ELIXIR\, NBIS and the Science for Life Laboratory (SciLifeLab) and includes speakers on life science data & interoperability\, stakeholder engagement\, and liaison strategies with the RDA. \n\n\n\nThe workshop aims to promote and refine strategies for liaising with global communities and in particular the RDA to develop and adopt solutions for data-driven life science research. The intended audience is research communities\, regional research infrastructures and cross-border infrastructure collaborations. However\, registration is open to everyone who is involved in furthering shared principles and standards for life science research data. To accommodate a dynamic and diverse group of participants\, the workshop is hosted as a hybrid event\, accepting participants on-site in Gothenburg\, Sweden or online via Zoom. \n\n\n\nThe event schedule is organised into two parts where invited speakers will present their experiences leading into discussions focused on finding effective liaison strategies and forming new collaborations across communities and infrastructures. Part 1 focuses on showcasing examples of how to leverage activities and outputs of the RDA to converge on shared principles and practices. Part 2 focuses on networking to outline and refine some elements of realistic and effective liaison strategies that could be implemented across the organisations\, initiatives and communities that the participants represent. \n\n\n\nRegistration is free for both on-site and virtual attendance. The number of spaces for on-site attendance is limited by the size of the room and some spaces will be reserved for speakers to promote wide representation across communities and infrastructures. \n\n\n\nContact: wolmar.n.akerstrom@uu.se \n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nPart 1: Showcase on leveraging the RDA for life science data\n\n\n\n09:00–11:00 CET | Presentations by invited speakers \n\n\n\n\nLife science data communities and infrastructures\n\n\n\nRegional resources with national and cross-border data sharing initiatives\n\n\n\nLeveraging and promoting RDA outputs and activities\n\n\n\nPanel discussion\n\n\n\n\nPart 2: Liaison strategies across communities & infrastructure\n\n\n\n11:00–12:00 CET | Guided discussions among participants \n\n\n\n\nWork towards realistic and effective liaison strategies\n\n\n\nPotential collaborations and steps going forward\n\n\n\n\n12:00–13:00 CET | Networking lunch for on-site participants URL:https://www.scilifelab.se/event/ddls_rda2023/ LOCATION:Lindholmen Conference Center\, Lindholmspiren 5\, Göteborg\, 417 56\, Sweden CATEGORIES:Event END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20230306T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20230306T160000 DTSTAMP:20230303T090629Z CREATED:20230213T125155Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230303T090629Z UID:10000808-1678111200-1678118400@www.scilifelab.se SUMMARY:Networking Meeting Between the Wallenberg Programs WASP-HS and Data-Driven Life Science (DDLS) DESCRIPTION:The purpose of this on-line meeting is to explore opportunities for joint and multidisciplinary research ventures between researchers working within data-driven life science and researchers from the humanities and social sciences working on Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems.

Evolutionary biology and genomics provide powerful tools for assessing the capacity of populations to adapt and persist. As a case study for adaptive capacity\, I focus on a unique disease that threatens the persistence of Tasmanian devils. Devil facial tumor disease (DFTD) is a transmissible cancer that has spread across the species range. Using genomic techniques\, we have found evidence of rapid evolution in response to DFTD as well as a genetic basis for disease-related phenotypes. Recently a second independently derived transmissible cancer was discovered in devils\, raising the possibility that this is a recurrent selective force. We have found widespread evidence of both historical and contemporary selection in the devil genome\, but no evidence that genes currently responding to DFTD were under recurrent selection in the past. These results help us assess the capacity of devil populations to adapt to threats\, including transmissible cancers\, and can help guide the management of both wild and captive devil populations. \n\n\n\nBio \n\n\n\nPaul A. Hohenlohe is an Associate Professor of Biological Sciences at the University of Idaho\, USA. He earned his Ph.D. in Zoology from the University of Washington and worked as a conservation biologist for the U.S. federal government. During his postdoctoral work at the University of Oregon\, he was part of the team that developed RAD sequencing as a tool for population genomics. His current research program focuses on evolutionary genetics and genomics with applications to conservation of biodiversity\, across a wide range of plant and animal taxa. He is also the director of the Bioinformatics and Computational Biology graduate degree program at UI. \n\n\n\n\nTanja Schwander\, Abstract and Bio\nEvolution and consequences of parthenogenesis: Insights from stick insects \n\n\n\nParthenogenesis is predicted to have many evolutionary consequences\, since gamete production and the restoration of somatic ploidy levels via fertilization no longer take place\, and because male phenotypes are not exposed to selection. The empirical evidence for most predictions remains however scarce\, largely because in case studies of isolated parthenogenetic species\, putative effects of parthenogenesis are confounded with species specific patterns. To fill this knowledge gap\, we study independently evolved asexual arthropod species and their sexual relatives. I will discuss the insights we developed from genome andtranscriptome comparisons of sexual and asexual stick insect species as well from comparisons across new and previously published genomes of parthenogenetic animals. \n\n\n\nBio \n\n\n\nTanja Schwander earned her PhD at the University of Lausanne 2007 and then got postdoctoral and independent researcher fellowships at Simon Fraser University (CA)\, University of Groningen (NL) and the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin (DE). Tanja returned to Lausanne with a SNSF starting grant in 2013 and got a tenure track position there in 2014. Since 2018\, Tanja is an associate professor at University of Lausanne. \n\n\n\n\nLuis-Miguel Chevin\, Abstract and Bio\nPredictability of ecology and evolution in randomly fluctuating environments \n\n\n\nMost natural environments exhibit some component of random variation or noise\, which can only be predicted in a probabilistic sense. Current anthropogenic change\, beyond causing trends in mean environments\, also modifies the patterns of these fluctuations\, so there is a need to better understand their influences on ecology and evolution. Population responses to environmental noise depend not only on the magnitude of fluctuations\, but also on their alternation pattern\, as captured by their temporal autocorrelation. However\, a major challenge when investigating these effects is that their inherent stochasticity requires abundant replication\, which is often unfeasible in nature. I will argue that a powerful strategy towards this goal is to use a combination of approaches: theory\, experimental evolution\, and analyses of natural populations. I will illustrate this by confronting results from our long-term experiments with the microalga Dunaliella salina under randomly fluctuating salinity to theoretical predictions about changes in population size\, genetic composition\, phenotypes\, and fitness. I will end by considering how ecological interactions\, within and between species\, may alter these population responses to randomly fluctuating environments. \n\n\n\nBio \n\n\n\nLuis-Miguel Chevin did his PhD at University Paris South (2005-2008) then a postdoc at Imperial College London in Silwood Park (2009-2011). Luis-Miguel was hired in 2011 as a permanent CNRS researcher at the Center for Functional and Evolutionary Ecology in Montpellier\, where he is now a CNRS research director. \n\n\n\n\nFor more information\, feel free to contact events@scilifelab.se or the organizers: \n\n\n\nScientific Committee\n\n\n\n\nArild Husby\, Evolutionary Biology Centre\, Uppsala University\n\n\n\nFrank Johansson\, Evolutionary Biology Centre\, Uppsala University\n\n\n\nPascal Milesi\, SciLifeLab\, Uppsala University\n\n\n\nAndreas Wallberg\, Biomedical Centre\, Uppsala University\n\n\n\nMatthew Webster\, Biomedical Centre\, Uppsala University\n\n\n\nTanja Slotte\, Stockholm University URL:https://www.scilifelab.se/event/evolution-in-sweden-2023/ LOCATION:Friessalen\, Evolutionsbiologiskt centrum\, EBC Norbyvägen 14-18\, Uppsala\, 752 36 CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.scilifelab.se/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/c_1020232-l_3-k_imagepuff.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20221212T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20221212T183000 DTSTAMP:20221212T092442Z CREATED:20220927T190428Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221212T092442Z UID:10000701-1670839200-1670869800@www.scilifelab.se SUMMARY:Data-Driven Precision Medicine and Diagnostics Research Area Symposium DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the first in-person symposium in data-driven precision medicine and diagnostics (PMD) research area.

Cecilia Clemens. \n\n\n\nThe last years have seen an immense increase in high-throughput and high-resolution technologies for experimental observation as well as high-performance techniques to simulate molecular systems at a microscopic level\, resulting in vast and ever-increasing amounts of high-dimensional data. However\, experiments provide only a partial view of the molecular processes and are limited in their temporal and spatial resolution. On the other hand\, simulations are still not able to completely characterize large and/or complex molecular processes over long timescales\, thus leaving significant gaps in our ability to study these processes at a physically relevant scale. We present our efforts to bridge these gaps\, by combining statistical physics with state-of-the-art machine-learning methods to design optimal coarse models for complex macromolecular systems. We derive simplified molecular models to reproduce the essential information contained both in microscopic simulation and experimental measurements. \n\n\n\n\nSamuli Ripatti\nGenetic variation and risk of common diseases over the life course. Samuli Ripatti. \n\n\n\nPast 15 years have seen tremendous success in identifying genetic loci associated with common diseases and traits. Much of the current activities focus on strategies for inferring causal variants and genes driving these associations and on the potential translational opportunities arising from the genetic discoveries. I will highlight some of the opportunities\, risks and gaps in our knowledge related to both causal inference and genetic prediction and translation.  I will provide examples from FinnGen study (www.finngen.fi) consisting of genome wide profiles and longitudinal health registry data for  half a million Finns and from a network on biobanks and machine learning/AI -methods developers in INTERVENE Consortium (https://www.interveneproject.eu). \n\n\n\n\nJohan Bengtsson-Palme\nPredicting the disease threats of the future. Johan Bengtsson-Palme \n\n\n\nOur inability to restrain covid-19 to remain a local disease outbreak highlighted an important vulnerability in our preparedness for new infectious diseases – our inability to predict what the future disease agents might look like. This inability makes it impossible to preemptively monitor for potential future pathogens and makes it harder to quickly adapt existing disease surveillance to novel outbreaks. There is no guarantee that the next major outbreak will be viral – with increasing antibiotic resistance\, multidrug-resistant bacteria may very well be the next pandemic. In this talk\, I will discuss how we can predict which genes to look for to find future pathogens before they become widespread in clinics or among the general population\, both in terms of genes responsible for pathogenicity and in terms of antibiotic resistance genes. I will also outline how surveillance for antimicrobial resistance could be adapted to also include markers for pathogenicity and thus allow us to prevent or constrain disease outbreaks early. \n\n\n\n\nFredrik Edfors\nHarnessing the promise of next-generation plasma profiling for pan-cancer diagnostics. Fredrik Edfors \n\n\n\nCancer is one of our biggest worldwide health problems\, causing almost 10 million deaths annually. Despite significant advancements in cancer therapy over the past three decades\, diagnosis and treatment still have a great deal of opportunity for improvement.  \n\n\n\nHere\, a total of 12 prevalent cancer types represented by more than 1\,400 cancer patients’ plasma profiles of 1\,463 proteins were evaluated in trace amounts of blood plasma taken at the time of diagnosis and prior to treatment. A group of proteins linked to each of the examined malignancies was found using ML-based disease prediction models. This precision medicine strategy has the potential to benefit from advances in proteomics and precision and personalized medicine. \n\n\n\n\nTobias Andermann\nBig data approaches for assessing biodiversity value and potential. Tobias Andermann \n\n\n\nOur human societies worldwide are having a profound negative impact on the natural world surrounding us\, leading to experts declaring the current biodiversity crisis. However\, to date it is difficult if not impossible to actually quantify the magnitude of our impact on biodiversity. This is largely due to the overwhelming complexity of biodiversity\, which is not easily summarized and reduced into manageable metrics. Yet\, solving this task is necessary and is arguably one of the biggest and most urgent contemporary challenges for the biological research community. In this talk I will discuss the utility of environmental DNA (eDNA) sequencing as a tool for gathering comprehensive biodiversity data in the field. I will touch upon the challenges and possibilities regarding the application of eDNA data for this purpose\, in particular how these data can be applied to train AI models with the ability to model biodiversity and simulate changes thereof. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nScientific Committee\n\n\n\nTuuli Lappalainen\, chair and DDLS Steering group member\, Clemens Wittenbecher\, DDLS Fellow\, Simon Olsson\, WASP and Johan Rung\, Data Centre. \n\n\n\nOrganizing Committee\n\n\n\nProject leader Erika Erkstam\, Operations office\, and the DDLS support team Heidi T Persson\, Ulrika Wallenquist\, Titti Ekegren.

Currently\, there are close to 250 Group Leaders with a strong affiliation to SciLifeLab research and infrastructure. The Group Leaders are the core of the SciLifeLab community\, and are essential to the scientific development of our organization. \n\n\n\nThis two-day retreat is the first to bring together the expanding SciLifeLab Group Leader community from all SciLifeLab sites. The organizing committee (Anniina Vihervaara\, Sarahi Garcia\, Prashant Singh\, Jean Hausser\, Ellen Sherwood\, Mats Nilsson and Per Ljungdahl) has developed a program aimed at stimulating interactions and networking between Group Leaders\, catalyzed through activities such as speed dating\, research discussions\, and a sci-hack.

You will have up to 10 minutes to present your challenge\, followed by 15 minutes for feedback and discussions with the other group members. That is 25 minutes of dedicated brain time of four accomplished scientists focused on your challenge. \n\n\n\nTo make the best of this \n\n\n\nPrepare and train for your presentation. Presentations will be in an analog format\, e.g. no slides\, no screens\, to encourage high-level\, conceptual thinking. Flip chart and board markers will be available.Make sure your presentation is accessible to researchers across the SciLifeLab areas.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSciHack\n\n\n\nThe overarching idea with this exercise is to enable participants to apply themselves\, allowing them to think across disciplines\, and perhaps even sparking new collaborations. \n\n\n\nHow? Identify a problem of interest together with the group members – it could be for example a research challenge or problem brought up in the group research discussions (day 1)\, or a grand challenge in one of the group member’s research field. Prepare a poster outlining a proposal to solve this problem\, leveraging the expertise of all group members. You will have 40 min for this part of the exercise. \n\n\n\nEach groups presents their poster 4-5 min in a super-group of 6 SciHack groups. The winning solution from each super-group will be selected\, and posted in Upplandssalen.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorkshops\n\n\n\nPlanning for Research Impact\nHillevi EnglundSusanne Bredenberg \n\n\n\nThis workshop will provide practical knowledge around research impact and a useful tool to structure your thoughts. The tool will help you who struggle to make a credible impact plan for your grant applications\, and you who have a strong drive to create societal impact but don’t know where to start. The practical exercise will be individual. Preparation: Decide on a new or existing research project to work with during the practical exercise\, and start thinking of what the potential long term use of future/existing results could look like. \n\n\n\n\nConnecting Research with Infrastructure using Training activities – a brainstorming exercise \nJessica LindvallNina Norgren \n\n\n\nThis workshop will provide practical knowledge around research impact and a useful tool to structure your thoughts. The tDo you as a SciLifeLab groupleader have ideas on how to connect Research with Infrastructure using Training? Are you as an expert within your specific domain engaged and enthusiastic regarding training and education? Do you like to contribute to training and education for the life science community and train the next generation? If it is a yes to any of these question we would like to welcome you to this Brainstorming exercise. Here we want to find engaging ways using Training to further connect the SciLifeLab Research community with the Infrastructure activities.  We believe Training activities\, which in the widest sense could mean building a community of trainers across Research and Infrastructure to the ideas of specific course topics where Resaerch and Infrastructure contribute to the activity\, is one of the paths to build synergies across SciLifeLab. With this Groupleader retreat at Aronsborg\, we take the opportunity to invite SciLifeLab groupleaders i.e. PIs and Heads of Unit to this brainstorming exercise to get the best ideas on the table on how to connect Research with Infrastructure and capitalize on both pillars expertise and training enthusiasm. Welcome! \n\n\n\n\nHow can SciLifeLab group leaders and infrastructures contribute to the clinical implementation of precision medicine?\nÅsa JohanssonJanne LehtiöPäivi ÖstlingEva Berglund \n\n\n\nPrecision medicine (PM) has potential to significantly improve human health\, and is an important part of the Swedish life science strategy as well as the SciLifeLab roadmap for 2020-2030. The vision of the SciLifeLab PM Capability is that SciLifeLab plays an important role in the implementation of PM in Sweden by providing cutting-edge technologies to world-leading PM research and to clinical trials. In this workshop\, we will discuss the proceedings of SciLifeLab’s roadmap for PM and collect your input. Topics to be discussed include the definition of PM research\, and how the PM Capability can contribute to enable cutting-edge PM research at SciLifeLab. \n\n\n\n\nCampus Solna\nPer Ljungdahl \n\n\n\nSciLifeLab Campus Solna (CS) is a shared extra campus of the Stockholm Trio universities and the largest SciLifeLab site. CS was established twelve years ago and has been a great success. But\, what about the future?In 2019 our IAB pointed out that an active and exceptional research environment at CS is critical to the future success of SciLifeLab\, and this notion was reemphasized in their most recent report. Additionally\, the IAB pointed out that CS has an important role in educating researchers in the fine art of analyzing biological problems that can only be answered using high data-density approaches.There are many challenges facing CS and maintaining an exceptional research and educational environment depends on constant input from the community and an active leadership in tune and well-synchronized with the core activities.After a brief introduction\, together we will seek to identify the principles that should be guiding and to establish common goals required to shape a concrete vision for the CS of the future. Specifically\, the goals we define should have a steering function\, support planning activities\, be motivational and useful when evaluating progress. \n\n\n\n\nMerit assessments DORA\nKatarina Gustafsson \n\n\n\nStockholm university signed the DORA declaration in 2019.  The workshop\, lead by Katarina Gustafsson\, Excecutive Officer at the office of Science (SU)\, will focus on how employment of teaching positions and promotion matters are handled at SU\, based on DORA. How are these processes prepared and implemented\, ie how are experts appointed\, what instructions go out to experts\, the current premises under which employment committees and promotion committees work\, balance between scientific and pedagogical skills.  \n\n\n\n\nData Centre\nTBA \n\n\n\nTBA \n\n\n\n\nFrom research to innovation and commercialisation – how to get funding and support\n13:00Welcome words and presentationsAlexandra Patriksson\, SciLifeLab13:05An overview of the Swedish innovation support system and presentation of Vinnova\, including relevant calls and funding opportunitiesLars Hammarström\, Vinnova13:15Presentation of WALP\, including your offer to KAW-funded research and researchersSandor Albrecht\,13:25Presentation of BII\, including your programmes and callsMatthias Wulf\, BII13:35Questions\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCONTACT FOR PRACTICAL QUESTIONS URL:https://www.scilifelab.se/event/scilifelab-group-leader-retreat/ LOCATION:Aronsborg Konferenshotell\, Helgövägen 7\, Bålsta\, 746 30 CATEGORIES:Community ORGANIZER;CN="SciLifeLab Event":MAILTO:events@scilifelab.se END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20220608T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20220608T160000 DTSTAMP:20220519T083454Z CREATED:20220314T164411Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220519T083454Z UID:10000551-1654682400-1654704000@www.scilifelab.se SUMMARY:Networking meeting between the Wallenberg programs Data-driven Life Science (DDLS) and WASP-HS DESCRIPTION:The purpose of the meeting is to explore opportunities for joint and multidisciplinary research ventures between researchers working within data-driven life science and researchers from the humanities and social sciences working on Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems. Information regarding an upcoming call for seed-money for cross-program research collaborations will also be announced at the meeting.

DESCRIPTION:Join us at the first conference within The SciLifeLab and Wallenberg national program for Data-Driven Life Science! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe practice of life science is continuously becoming more data-dependent. The amount and complexity of data is growing exponentially\, and more scientific discoveries are enabled when data is openly available to researchers across the world. This is the basis for the SciLifeLab and Wallenberg National Program on Data-Driven Life Science (DDLS). \n\n\n\nThe program focuses on four strategic areas for data-driven research\, all of which are essential for improving the lives of people as well as animals and nature\, detecting and treating diseases\, protecting biodiversity and creating sustainability: \n\n\n\nCell and molecular biologyEpidemiology and infection biologyEvolution and biodiversityPrecision medicine and diagnostics\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe conference will focus on enthusing research within the four research areas and aims to bring together researchers within the field for discussion and sharing the latest within the research areas. The meeting will offer an exciting compilation of keynotes\, special lectures within the four fields and opportunities to meet and discuss with prominent researchers. \n\n\n\nAnyone with interest in the data-driven research field is welcome to participate. The full-day conference will be virtual (Zoom). \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe program with confirmed speakers will be available shortly. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe conference is part of the SciLifeLab and Wallenberg national program for the DDLS program\, funded by the Alice and Knut Wallenbergs Foundation.
