TOPIC: Leveraging the NHLBI BioData Catalyst Ecosystem to Accelerate Heart, Lung, and Blood Research

NHLBI BioData Catalyst is a cloud-based analytics ecosystem that hosts over 3 petabytes of health data including whole genome sequencing, RNA-seq, clinical variables, and medical imaging covering 400,000 participants. BioData Catalyst provides investigators a single point of access to the most TOPMed datasets, as well as prebuilt analytic workflows to jump-start research projects. As a collaborative environment, the BioData Catalyst community of developers and fellows are continuously developing applications to expand the capabilities of research in the ecosystem. This presentation will discuss development of AI tools for medical image analysis in response to the emergence of COVID-19, a semantic search tool designed to help researchers find connections between research concepts, and future plans for AI-assisted data harmonization.
