BMIR Research Colloquium: Zihuai He, PhD “Statistical and Computational Methods do Integrative Analysis of Non-coding Genetic Variation. @ MSOB Conference Room X275

Abstract:

Understanding the functional consequences of genetic variants is a challenging problem, especially for variants in non-coding regions. The noncoding genome covers ~98% of the human genome and includes elements that regulate when, where, and to what degree protein-coding genes are transcribed. We will talk about a combination of new methodologies for the analysis of noncoding variants, integrating whole genome sequencing, epigenetic technologies and experimental approaches. First, we propose a semi-supervised approach, GenoNet, to jointly utilize experimentally confirmed regulatory variants (labeled variants), millions of unlabeled variants genome-wide, and more than a thousand cell type/tissue specific epigenetic annotations to predict functional consequences of non-coding genetic variants. Second, we propose a scan statistic framework, GenoScan, to simultaneously detect the existence, and estimate the locations of the association signal at genome-wide scale. Last, we will discuss their application to integrative analysis of complex trait genetics.

SCCR Virtual Science Series: Medical Terminology and Common Medical Acronyms in Clinical Research @ ZOOM Webinar
Jun 4 @ 9:00 am – 11:00 am
SCCR Virtual Science Series: Medical Terminology and Common Medical Acronyms in Clinical Research @ ZOOM Webinar

Presenter: Andrew Moore, MD

Click HERE to Register!

The mission of the Stanford Center for Clinical Research (SCCR) includes offering educational resources, training, and support for investigators and research staff.  We have invited the future Chief Resident of Medicine Dr. Andrew Moore, MD to provide you with a solid foundation in medical terminology and common medical acronyms. In this session, you will learn the typical components of medical terms as well as the important anatomic landmarks, which in combination can be used to interpret the majority of medical terminology.

 

At the conclusion of this class, you will be able to:

 Interpret key roots, prefixes, and suffixes for medical terms

  • Apply important anatomic terminology
  • Recognize the importance of acronyms in medical practice
  • Understand when the use of medical acronyms is appropriate and when it should be avoided
  • Apply common medical acronyms, abbreviations, and colloquialisms
  • Identify and use resources to improve health literacy

Attendance is open to all research staff

About the Instructor:

Dr. Andrew Moore, MD, is a third year Internal Medicine resident at Stanford and a future chief resident. He grew up in Virginia and completed his Bachelors in neuroscience at the College of William and Mary followed by his MD at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. During his time at Stanford, he has received the Julian Wolfsohn Award for outstanding performance in Internal Medicine, the Clinical Teaching Award, and the Housestaff Professionalism Award, as well as multiple awards for his research focusing on the use of metabolomics and genomics in predicting mortality in the ICU under the mentorship of Dr. Angela Rogers.

BRN OPTIONAL
Spectrum is an approved provider by the California Board of Registered Nursing, Provider Number CEP15435 for 2 contact hour(s).

To receive your certificate with BRN credit, you are required to complete an evaluation at the conclusion of this class.
