Please join the UMB Institute for Clinical & Translational Research (ICTR) in welcoming Huichun Xu, MD, PhD, who will present on “Using Omics in Biomedical Research,” and Patrick McArdle, MD, PhD, who will present on "Data Asset Management in the Era of Collaborative Science."
“Using Omics in Biomedical Research”
Discussion synopsis: This presentation will provide an overview of major omics modalities used in biomedical research, including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and epigenomics, highlighting the biological questions it can address, common experimental platforms, and key analytical workflows. The goal is to build a conceptual understanding of how omics approaches can be used in broad research projects, and to illustrate the types of analytical support available through the ICTR biostatistics core.
“Data Asset Management in the Era of Collaborative Science”
Discussion synopsis: This presentation outlines an architectural approach that allows researchers to reuse data across projects without rebuilding everything and how a transparent, governed process replaces messy, one-off exports to ensure quality and comparability. It explains, at a high level, how data are pulled from study systems, labs, and -omics pipelines, how raw data are preserved and transformed to create reliable, analysis-ready datasets, and how they are stored in a structured warehouse with consistent definitions to support quick, trusted analyses. This is an ICTR-supported service.
Tuesday, June 2, from noon-1 p.m.
