GGMC Educational Webinar Series

Upcoming Webinar:
March 6, 9:00am EST. ​

Join Us Each Month

The GGMC Educational Webinar Series brings together leaders, educators, researchers, and professionals with all levels of expertise to share health sciences initiatives taking place in their respective fields and countries.

Each month’s webinar will feature new guest speakers offering novel insights into their fields. The virtual platform allows us to reach a global audience, particularly those in low-and middle income countries (LMICs) where our organization’s mission is heavily focused. This monthly series is free and open to anyone who wishes to participate.

Join us as we come together each month to share scientific ideas, best practices, challenges, lessons learned, funding opportunities, and more as we continue our mission of improving population health for all.

Upcoming Webinar

"How Biobank Data is Changing the Landscape of Statistical Analysis, Machine Learning, and AI – and Why These Frameworks Will Drive Further Generation of Biobank Data."

Dr. Ben Busby

Ben Busby works to make biomedical data science a more productive environment for biological data scientists. He does this by demonstrating scientific data integration with and within complex datasets. He also develops prototype software in machine learning, omics, imaging, pharmacogenomics and NLP with his group, as well as in a number of hackathons he runs and participates in around the world.

About the Talk

There is a lot of uncertainty around cis and trans effects on the penetrance of genomic variants, as well as how they are affected by environment and what their eventual effect on tissues. Biobanks are not only allowing us to calculate these effects, but also allowing us to have temporal readouts of both proteins and images so that we can examine their effects from the molecular to tissue scale. Having a diversity of biobanks, we can look at these effects across populations without artifacts generated by population imbalances in our data. As we move forward into the age of AI, we will not only see these insights accelerate, but there will be a greater demand and incentive to have biobank data on human and other biological populations.
