We are pleased to announce the third meeting on Biological Data Science, which will begin on Wednesday, November 7 at 7:30 p.m. and conclude with lunch on Saturday, November 10, 2018. The scope of this meeting will be the infrastructure, software, and algorithms needed to analyze large data sets in biological research. We welcome abstracts from researchers in both academia and industry who work on technical aspects of the discussion topics in all areas of biology, from genomics to imaging. We also welcome abstracts from translational and clinical researchers who regularly mine large data sets as part of their projects. The goal is to assemble a multidisciplinary audience that will discuss best practices, identify challenges, and highlight successes in the analysis of large biological data sets.
Discussion Themes:
- Single Cell
- Personalized Medicine and Biomarkers
- Imaging
- Machine Learning
- Algorithmics
- Tools, Infrastructure, and Visualization
Keynote address:
Steven Salzberg, Johns Hopkins University
Master Lecture on making microscopy images as computable as genomes: drug discovery in the age of deep learning:
Anne Carpenter, Broad Institute
Panel Discussion on the future of Biological Data Science:
Moderated by Adam Phillippy
Confirmed Discussion Leaders:
Brenda Andrews, University of Toronto
Héctor Corrada Bravo, University of Maryland
Anna Goldenberg, University of Toronto
Melissa Gymrek, University of California San Diego
Michael Hoffman, University of Toronto

Abstracts are welcome for consideration as poster and platform presentations and should contain new and unpublished material. Status of abstracts (talk versus poster) will be posted on our Web site as soon as decisions have been made by the organizers.
All questions pertaining to registration, fees, housing, meals, transportation, visas, abstract submission or any other matters should be directed to Catie Carr at carr@cshl.edu.
We are eager to have as many young scientists as possible attend since they are likely to benefit most from this meeting. We will be applying for funds from government and industry to partially support graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Please apply in writing to Catie Carr at carr@cshl.edu stating your need for financial support. Preference will be given to those submitting abstracts.
Partial Support for this meeting is provided by ePlus Technology Inc.
We look forward to seeing you at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in November.
