Abhishek Jha - CEO & Co-Founder, Elucidata
9:00 AM - 9:25 AM (PT)
From paper to excel sheets, electronic lab notebooks, and finally to the cloud, biomedical data has been going places in the last few decades! As we transition into a post-cloud world and all your data is on the cloud, any AI initiative will be at risk unless the data is clean and linked to each other. In this session, Abhishek Jha elaborates on how Elucidata is doubling and tripling down on a data-centric approach to accelerate biological discovery.
Chandni Valiathan - Director Modeling and Decision Sciences, Johnson & Johnson
9:25 AM to 9:50 AM (PT)
Published clinical trial data holds rich information on treatments and clinical endpoints that can be useful for future trial design and clinical decisions. This data is usually locked in text form, and not easily accessible. Making such published clinical trial data FAIR is challenging. Even with such data being accessible there remain added complexities in using the data for mathematical models. This talk will explore the various stages of compiling useful datasets from published data all the way to leveraging this clinical knowledge to generate insight and enable data-informed decisions. Challenges and opportunities in this data journey will be discussed.
Reenu Pandey - Associate Director- Informatics, Beam Tx
Manimala Sen - Sr. Product Manager at Elucidata
9:50 AM to 10:15 AM (PT)
Navneet Srivastava - Principal HCLS Data Lake and Analytics Specialist, AWS
10:15 AM to 10:40 AM (PT)
Danny Wells - Chief Technical Officer, Santa Ana Bio
Ashutosh M, Assistant Professor- CSE Department, IIT-Kanpur
Shashank Jatav, Director- Data Products, Elucidata
As the world is moving at breakneck speed toward larger models to improve accuracy, we take a step back from the rat race to take a more efficient and realistic look at the technology and explore how it can be improved in a more optimized and well-rounded manner. Join the exciting conversation between ML/NLP expert Dr. Ashutosh Modi and our BioNLP Director, Shashank Jatav, to learn more.
Aneesh Karve - CTO, Quilt Data
As modeling projects grow, so grow the costs of debugging, scaling, and modifying the model pipeline. One method to minimize the costs of model maintenance is to train models in reproducible iterations. In the context of machine learning, we define a reproducible model iteration as the output of an executable script that is a pure function of three variables: code, environment, and data. Reproducible models are not an end, but a means to faster, more correct iterations. A reproducible model history implies that developers can confidently reconstruct any past model iteration. As a result, reproducibility makes it easier for developers to experiment with modifications, isolate bugs, and revert to known good iterations when problems arise.
Rangaprasad Sarangarajan - Chief Scientific Officer, Metabolon
The presentation will use metabolomics as a data construct to highlight the importance of standardization of both protocols and data to enable data-driven analytics for the creation of actionable solutions. A case study will be presented on the use of metabolomics data for target identification and validation of its potential clinical utility as a pathway for drug discovery.
Mya Steadman - Bioinformatics Scientist, Elucidata
Predictive models used in drug discovery require a viable level of data quality. A faulty model can lead to completely off-the-mark predictions and sunk project costs.In sharp contrast, much of the available biomedical data is unstructured and prone to errors due to varying experimental protocols (incomplete metadata information, missing annotations, inconsistent file formats). To ensure their datasets are ML-Ready, R&D teams must set up a system that continuously assesses and iterates on the data and metadata quality. This session will demonstrate Elucidata’s data quality assessment approach, which ensures an input dataset is standardized and has accurate, complete, and a breadth of metadata information before it is considered model quality.
Jainik Dedhia - Senior Product Manager, Elucidata
Neychelle Fernandes - Director Solutions & Technical Sales, Elucidata
Today, biomolecular research produces a large amount of data. This data provides important clues for discovery, translational research, and personalized medicine. At Elucidata, our aim is to build a platform that puts high-quality data central to ML workflows in pre-clinical R&D. In this session, our speakers shed light on the Do-it-yourself (DIY) data journey on Polly, starting from ingesting raw data on Polly's cloud, analyzing and visualizing processed data and everything in between. Join Neychelle, Director - Solutions and Technical Sales, and Jainik Dedhia, Senior product manager, as they give us insights into what’s coming up next quarter on Polly.
Giovanni Nisato - Consultant, Project Manager FAIR Implementation, Pistoia Alliance
Although data standards (e.g., CDISC) are mandatory for clinical trial submission to FDA, the data is often un-FAIR, limiting future reuse. The Pistoia Alliance FAIR4Clin guide explores the state of FAIR in the clinical space. In this session, Giovanni Nisato from the FAIR implementation Project emphasizes how this guide adds value to clinical data, accelerating research for data practitioners like clinical data managers or analysts. His session includes topics like metadata concepts and standards, clinical trial registries, clinical data quality, and governance.
Swetabh Pathak - CTO & Co-Founder, Elucidata
Krutika Gaonkar - Senior Solutions Architect, Elucidata
The challenge of storing and retrieving data exists because various stakeholders need to interface with the data before it is analyzed. Setting up a system that tracks data lineage, quality & versioning is often an afterthought. Here, our CTO & Co-founder, Swetabh Pathak & Senior Solution Architect, Krutika Gaonkar, define a data management strategy, that allows R&D teams to ensure the journey for data generated from instruments/ CROs to insight derivation is seamless. They will also how pre-clinical data can remain clean, linked & thus FAIR at every stage.
Hugh Salamon - Director of Bioinformatics Scientific Strategy, Exelixis
Gautham Sridharan - Principal Scientist, Alnylam Pharmaceuticals
Kishore Nandyala - Executive Director of Digital Transformation, Exelixis
There is constant growth, complexity, and creation speed of data. Therefore, a FAIR approach to data management is paramount. Having led transformative FAIRification efforts within their enterprises, panelists in this talk will discuss what the infrastructure to handle biomedical big data should look like, the challenges they faced while adopting FAIR approaches to data management, and some wins on this journey to FAIR transformation
