Fueled by technological innovations, online databases and algorithmic developments, biomedical research is rapidly becoming a data science. In this webinar, three of the most innovative UCLA faculty will share their perspectives on how biological big data are enabling their research. We will hear about robotic instrumentation that generate big data about drugs and genes, how diverse datasets can be integrated to identify patterns that inform novel diagnostics, and how shared databases can be leveraged to identify new disease insights from existing drugs.
