January 2021
In January, 2021, an online X-omics workshop series will start. Different aspects of challenges and solutions related to multi-omics data integration are being addressed in four workshops.
We will have a look at the different tools and platforms mixOmics, cBioPortal and R2.
The third workshop will highlight –omics clocks and –omics risk scores.
Finally, we invite you to pitch your own project and get advice from panelists and participants on experimental design and data integration strategies for a multi-omics approach.
Dr.Ir. Daniella Kasteel is the project manager of X-omics. She is an experienced project/research manager with a scientific background. Apart from the general project management tasks she is responsible for the marketing and communication of X-omics, organization of events and workshops, the X-omics helpdesk and building a X-omics community.
Leon Mei is the head of Sequencing Analysis Support Core at LUMC. He was also involved in the BBMRI-GoNL project and chaired the data management group in the BBMRI-BIOS project.
Dr Kim-Anh Lê Cao develops novel methods, software and tools to interpret big biological data and answer research questions efficiently. Kim-Anh is committed to statistical education to instill best analytical practice. She has taught numerous statistical workshops for biologists and leads collaborative projects in medicine, fundamental biology or microbiology disciplines.
Kim-Anh has a mathematical engineering background and graduated with a PhD in Statistics from the Université de Toulouse, France. She then moved to Australia first as a biostatistician consultant at QFAB Bioinformatics, then as a research group leader at the biomedical University of Queensland Diamantina Institute. She currently is Associate Professor in Statistical Genomics at the University of Melbourne. Kim-Anh has secured two consecutive NHMRC fellowships, published more than 90 articles and secured more than 8.5 million in competitive funding. In 2019, she received the Australian Academy of Science’s Moran Medal for her contributions to Applied Statistics, the Georgina Sweet Award for female scientists in quantitative biomedical science that recognize her contribution in multidisciplinary collaborations. She was selected to the international Homeward Bound leadership program for women in STEMM which culminated in a trip to Antarctica.
