Representatives from the Skolkovo Foundation participated in the 2012 BIO International Convention at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center June 18-21. The conference, attended by pharmaceutical companies, teaching hospitals, venture capital firms and over 500 biotechnology companies, drew more than 15,000 attendees to the Boston area.
Christopher L. Barrett, Executive Director, Virginia Bioinformatics Institute/Professor of Computer Science, Virginia Tech. Dr. Barrett’s talk entitled “Massively Interactive Systems: Thinking and Deciding in the Age of Big Data"
Abstract: This talk discusses advanced computationally assisted reasoning about large interaction-dominated systems. Current questions in science, from the biochemical foundations of life to the scale of the world economy, involve details of huge numbers and levels of intricate interactions. Subtle indirect causal connections and vastly extended definitions of system boundaries dominate the immediate future of scientific research. Beyond sheer numbers of details and interactions, the systems are variously layered and structured in ways perhaps best described as networks. Interactions include, and often co-create, these morphological and dynamical features, which can interact in their own right. Such “massively interacting” systems are characterized by, among other things, large amounts of data and branching behaviors. Although the amount of associated data is large, the systems do not even begin to explore their entire phase spaces. Their study is characterized by advanced computational methods. Major methodological revisions seem to be indicated.
Heretofore unavailable and rapidly growing basic source data and increasingly powerful computing resources drive complex system science toward unprecedented detail and scale. There is no obvious reason for this direction in science to change. The cost of acquiring data has historically dominated scientific costs and shaped the research environment in terms of approaches and even questions. In the several years, as the costs of social data, biological data and physical data have plummeted on a per-unit basis and as the volume of data is growing exponentially, the cost drivers for scientific research have clearly shifted from data generation to storage and analytical computation-based methods. The research environment is rapidly being reshaped by this change and, in particular, the social and bio–sciences are revolutionized by it. Moreover, the study of socially– and biologically–coupled systems (e.g., societal infrastructures and infectious disease public health policy analysis) is in flux as computation-based methods begin to greatly expand the scope of traditional problems in revolutionary ways.
How does this situation serve to guide the development of “information portal technology” for complex system science and for decision support? An example of an approach to detailed computational analysis of social and behavioral interaction with physical and infrastructure effects in the immediate aftermath of a devastating disaster will be described in this context.
Researchers have now identified and catalogued more species that reside on the human skin than has ever been possible, largely due to advances in bioinformatics and laboratory techniques. Some of these previously unknown species are the most abundant on human skin. The results appear in a new catalog, the Skin Microbial Genome Collection (SMGC), published in Nature Microbiology. Investigators at the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), European Bioinformatics Institute and the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases participated in the collaborative study.

Did you wash your hands well today?
What's taught in this department nowadays seems mostly 'molecular' to me and at a very deep level--bacteriology is a word from the 1930s when this building was constructed.
Here are the fields the biosciences library supports according to their website:
"all fields related to the life sciences and natural resources, including genetics, evolution, ecology, bioinformatics, environmental science and policy, conservation, and nutrition."

Ophiux (2016)
For her upcoming touring exhibition at Sonic Acts - against the backdrop of the emergent field of computational biology and the Google Genomics project - she invented Ophiux, a speculative pharmaceutical company, imagining its use of genetic sequencing equipment and biological machines to collect data from humans and to sample data from other organisms. Holder explains: ‘It seems as if everything has become a branch of computer science, even our own bodies probed, imaged, modelled and mapped: re-drawn as digital information’.
Ophiux was originally commissioned by Wysing Arts Centre, Cambridge, with funding from Arts Council England in 2016. The film was co-commissioned with Deptford X, London. With thanks to Dr Marco Galardini, Computational Biologist at the European Bioinformatics Institute at the Wellcome Trust Genome Campus, Cambridge, Dr Katrin Linse, Senior Biodiversity Biologist at the British Antarctic Survey, Cambridge, Alex Walker, Graphic Designer and AJA, Sound Design.

SystemImager and BitTorrent: a peer-to-peer approach to large scale OS deployment
von Erich Focht (NEC HPC Europe), Andrea Righi (CINECA), Brian Finley (Argonne National Laboratory), Bernard Li (Pharma startup in Bay Area)
Donnerstag, 31.05.2007, Saal 4: Kaiserslautern , 11:00-12:00 Uhr
This paper describes the integration of BitTorrent as a transport method to deploy OS images to a large number of clients using SystemImager (http://www.systemimager.org). Traditionally, the classical client-server model does not scale well, thus large deployments, such as big clusters or complex grid-computing environments, need to be staged. An alternative scalable and reliable method for image distribution needs to be implemented and BitTorrent seems to be a natural fit. Measurements with big clusters of hundreds of nodes show that the SystemImager BitTorrent deployment scales as expected and dramatically exceeds the performance of the existing multicast and rsync deployment methods. Experimental results of deployment time and bandwidth analysis on a large installation are documented in the paper to confirm the advantages of the peer-to-peer approach with respect to the other transports. The speed of the deployment and the support for heterogenous harware provides the means to deploy virtual clusters which are built on the same resource pool, where it is possible to dynamically re-initialize workspaces on user demand.
Über den Autor Erich Focht:

An unprecedented wealth of data is being generated by genome sequencing projects and other experimental efforts to determine the structure and function of biological molecules. The demands and opportunities for interpreting these data are expanding more than ever. Biotechnology, pharmacology, and medicine will be particularly affected by the new results and the increased understanding of life at the molecular level. Bioinformatics is the development and application of computer methods for analysis, interpretation, and prediction, as well as for the design of experiments. It has emerged as a strategic frontier between biology and computer science.
Machine learning approaches (e.g., neural networks, hidden Markov models, and belief networks) are ideally suited for areas where there is a lot of data but little theory--and this is exactly the situation in molecular biology. As with its predecessor, statistical model fitting, the goal in machine learning is to extract useful information from a body of data by building good probabilistic models. The particular twist behind machine learning, however, is to automate the process as much as possible.

Pierre Baldi is Professor at the School of Information and Computer Science and the Department of Biological Chemistry at the University of California, Irvine and the Director of the Institute for Genomics and Bioinformatics. Born and raised in Europe, he received his PhD from the California Institute of Technology in 1986. From 1986 to 1988 he was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, San Diego. From 1988 to 1995 he held faculty and member of the technical staff positions at the California Institute of Technology and at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. He was CEO of a startup company from 1995 to 1999 and joined UCI in 1999. He is the recipient of a 1993 Lew Allen Award at JPL and a Laurel Wilkening Faculty Innovation Award at UCI. Dr. Baldi has written over 100 research articles and four books:
(1) Modeling the Internet and the Web--Probabilistic Methods and Algorithms, Wiley, (2003);
(2) DNA Microarrays and Gene Regulation--From Experiments to Data Analysis and Modeling, Cambridge University Press, (2002);
(3) The Shattered Self--The End of Evolution, MIT Press, (2001);
(4) Bioinformatics: the Machine Learning Approach, MIT Press, Second Edition (2001).
His research focuses in various areas at the intersection of computational and life sciences, in particular the application of AI/statistical/machine learning methods to problems in bio and chemical informatics. The work of his group has resulted in several databases, software, and web servers that are widely used (http://www.igb.uci.edu/servers/servers.html). His main contributions include the development of Hidden Markov Models (HMMPro) for sequence analysis, recursive neural networks for de novo protein structure prediction (SCRATCH), Bayesian statistical methods for DNA microarray analysis (Cyber-T), informatics infrastructure for systems biology (SIGMOID) and, more recently, databases and tools in chemical informatics (ChemDB) for the prediction of molecular properties and applications in chemical synthesis, discovery, and drug design.
Integration of biological and chemical informatics presents a real opportunity to address some of the most exciting and challenging issues posed by systems biology. Join us for a two day symposium sponsored by the BBSRC and Brunel University, where influential leaders in bioinformatics, chemoinformatics, systems biology and health, will
present the latest developments that are helping to shape this interdisciplinary field. This symposium is open to those working in the field, including academics, researchers, students and industry and will provide an excellent environment for delegates to participate in networking activities and developing collaborative, interdisciplinary research partnerships.
