Big Data in Immunology 2024

Big Data in Immunology 2024 is organized by Federation of Clinical Immunology Societies (FOCIS) and will be held on Jun 18, 2024 at San Francisco Marriott Marquis, San Francisco, California, United States of America.

Description:
Are you interested in exploring public datasets? Or using shared immunology study results to further facilitate your research and gain insights into discoveries? Strengthen your funding requests. Want to develop analytical skills and hear from those who have done it?

The open-access ImmPort database provides publicly available clinical trial and immunology research datasets and bioinformatics tools for analyses. ImmPort is an NIAID-funded data repository created to share NIAID-funded data with the scientific research community. ImmPort currently shares over 400 studies with new data released quarterly.

Attend the ImmPort workshop to hear from scientists who have published on repurposed data. Plus, attend a hands-on introduction to the ImmPort database and become familiar with mining the ImmPort data. Experts from the Immunology Database and Analysis Portal (ImmPort) will teach the workshop.

Learning Objectives:
• Introduction to open-access clinical trial initiatives
• Accessing publicly available clinical trial and research datasets in the ImmPort database
• Exposure to data reuse, reproducibility, and reanalysis of open-access clinical trial and immunology research datasets and bioinformatics tools for analyses.
• Hands-on tutorial on preliminary data analyses of an ImmPort study

Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
