2023 RI IDeA Emerging Area of Science Symposium
The Emerging Areas of Science IDeA Symposium was held on June 1st at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University in collaboration with Rhode Island’s IDeA programs Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) and Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO), and Advance Clinical and Translational Research (Advance-CTR).
The focus this year was Data Science and Dr. Christopher Burtner, Assistant Professor of Biology, at Roger Williams University represented the RI-INBRE program and presented a scientific talk entitled “Transcriptomics for the analysis of complex traits”.
Dr. Christopher Hemme, RI-INBRE’s Molecular Informatics Core Director, chaired a Breakout Session on “The Biomedical and Health Data Science Ecosystem in Rhode Island” presented in conjunction with Dr. Liz Chen and five additional panelists.
Over forty scientific posters were presented by participants from COBRE, Advance-CTR, and ECHO programs including five RI-INBRE network investigators.
