SUMMARY:Understanding the Molecular Mechanism of Progressive Diseases: An Integrative Omics Network Approach
DESCRIPTION:Muhammad Arif \n\n\n\nNBIS and SciLifeLab Data Centre arrange an open SciLifeLab AI Seminar Series aimed at knowledge-sharing about Artificial Intelligence and applications in the Life Science community. The seminar series is open to everyone. The seminar is run over Zoom on the third Friday of the month during academic terms\, typically between 10 and 11 am\, with approx. 45 min presentation and 15 min discussion. \n\n\n\nWhen: March 20\, 10:00-11:00 \n\n\n\nWhere:  Zoom http://meet.nbis.se/ainw \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Muhammad ArifDDLS fellow Precision Medicine and Diagnostics\, University of GothenburgAbstract \n\n\n\nMany common diseases\, including cardiovascular and metabolic disorders\, develop gradually through complex biological changes long before symptoms appear. This work presents a data-driven\, systems-level approach that integrates large-scale omics data with network analysis to uncover how these diseases progress. By examining interactions across thousands of genes and pathways simultaneously\, the framework identifies key molecular drivers of aging and peripheral artery disease\, reveals early warning signals\, and highlights potential therapeutic targets. This integrative strategy illustrates how combining biology with computational approaches can accelerate discovery and advance earlier\, more personalized medical care. \n\n\n\nTo stay updated\, you can join our email list by contacting ai-network@scilifelab.se  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nJoin Webinar

SUMMARY:The MaLDReTH map of tools used in the research lifecycle: A reference for building interoperability into research infrastructures
DESCRIPTION:MaLDReTH is a community initiative coordinated by an RDA working group. MaLDReTH maps categories of tools commonly used in each phase of the research lifecycle\, and includes examples of each tool category. The talk will explain how PRISM\, an interactive tool\, is being developed to catalogue interoperability between the tools included in MaLDReTH. It will then describe how universities and national infrastructure projects in Europe and elsewhere are referencing MaLDReTH and PRISM to design integrated research infrastructures whose components (tools) are interoperable\, enabling streamlined passage of data and metadata through the research lifecycle. \n\n\n\nDuring this online webinar Rory MacNeil will guide us through the world of MaLDReTH. \n\n\n\nPresenter: Rory Macneil\, CEO\, Research Space \n\n\n\nThis event is part of the SciLifeLab Open Science seminar series\, an event series by the SciLifeLab Data Centre and NBIS joint Data Management team.
