The 5th Annual Translational and Transformative Informatics Symposium was held virtually, and offered the opportunity to faculty, postdoc trainees, and graduate students to report progress on the latest informatics research and applications in biomedical sciences.
The 2021 symposium centered around several topics, including bioinformatics methods, genomics, cancer genomics, single-cell genomics, clinical genomics, epigenomics, cloud computing, bioinformatics education and relevant applications.
ATTIS 2021, sponsored by the Center for Clinical and Translational Science and the UAB Informatics Institute, included presentations from keynote speakers Heng Li, Ph.D., assistant professor of biomedical informatics at Harvard Medical School, and Nicholas Navin, Ph.D., principal investigator and associate professor of the MD Anderson Cancer Center.
The symposium included technical session presentations from: Stephen Barnes, Ph.D., Darshan Shimoga Chandrashekar, Ph.D., Chindo Hicks, Ph.D., Zachary Wallen, Ph.D., Alexander Rosenberg, Ph.D., Jelai Wang, Yu (Maggi) Chen, Brittany Lasseigne, Ph.D., Fengyuan Huang, Ewy Mathe, Ph.D., and Mary Bunten.
ATTIS provided a special education session, “Bioinformatics Education at Carnegie Mellon University”, presented by Phillip Compeau, Ph.D., Chindo Hicks, Ph.D., and Elliot Lefkowitz Ph.D.
Over the course of the symposium, two separate workshops were held with a focus on cloud computing for biomedical research and single cell data analysis.
