Rancho BioSciences is working on several data integration projects: Researchers often work with data from various sources (clinical trials, surveys, lab results). Our data scientists can weave these disparate datasets into a cohesive system, improving the comprehensiveness and usability of the data. Can we help you empower your data? #dataintegration #datascience

Dear Semantic Technologies enthusiasts, 💡 I am excited to showcase my research contribution and related presentation in MCIS-2024 & CAPSI-2024 (https://lnkd.in/deQd5jtr), which are fasting approaching, bringing together pioneers and professionals in the field of semantic technologies, data interoperability, and advanced Information Systems. Title: Empowering Health Data Fusion: A Federated Virtual Knowledge Graph Approach Leveraging the Ontop Platform This article explores a novel approach to health data integration using a Federated Virtual Knowledge Graph (FVKG) framework built on the Ontop platform. It addresses the challenges of data fusion in healthcare, such as disparate data sources, inconsistent formats, and interoperability issues across Health Information Systems (HIS). By leveraging Ontop’s Virtual Knowledge Graph (VKG) technology, the FVKG framework provides a unified, real-time virtual view of distributed healthcare data without physically moving or transforming it. This approach minimizes data migration costs, reduces latency, and ensures data integrity and coherence throughout the system. The article emphasizes the significance of the FVKG in enabling seamless semantic querying and ontology-based data access (OBDA), thus facilitating patient-centric, interoperable, and efficient health data management. 🔊 🔔 #research #DesigSicenceResearch #OntologyEngineering #OntologyBasedasedDesignScienceResearchEngineering #DataIntegration #DataInteroperability #Ontop #OBDA #InformationSystem #FederatedVirtualKnoweldgeGraph

🚀 Exciting Project Alert! 🚀 We're thrilled to announce the 2nd BioHackathon Germany Project - a pioneering initiative aimed at simplifying and standardizing Data Usage Agreements (#DUA) for life sciences and beyond. The project goal is to develop a user-friendly web application that enables automated, ODRL-based creation of DUAs. By adhering to international standards, the tool makes it easy to negotiate, store, and verify data access permissions in a machine-readable format. This way, even legal laymen can effortlessly create and manage robust data agreements. Key Highlights: 🔹 Automated DUA Creation: Step-by-step guidance via a configurable UI, backed by the ODRL data model. 🔹 Seamless Querying & Compliance: Use APIs for GAIA-X spec-compliant data exchange. 🔹 Interoperability: Integration with FDOs like ARC-RO-Crate and alignment with EOSC’s metadata schema. 🔹 Broader Impact: Ensuring secure, interoperable resource sharing in line with ELIXIR-DE/de.NBI and NFDI objectives.

We're excited to share our latest preprint on FedPyDESeq2, a privacy-enhancing tool for differential expression analysis in federated learning, now available on bioRxiv! 🧬💻 Key highlights: 📊 Exceptional performance: FedPyDESeq2 achieves near-identical results to PyDESeq2 on pooled data while significantly outperforming meta-analysis baselines on siloed data. 🛠️ Built on PyDESeq2: Our Python-based implementation of the DESeq2 methodology by Love, Huber, and Anders (2014). 🔓 Open-source: Check out the code https://lnkd.in/e_4TRcbF 🔗 Read the preprint here: https://lnkd.in/eHx-v7xb Large-scale RNA-Seq studies often face barriers from data silos and privacy risks, limiting opportunities for deeper clinical insights. FedPyDESeq2 overcomes these challenges, enabling secure and accurate analysis without sharing sensitive data. #AIinHealthcare #FederatedLearning #OpenSource #DESeq2

You know exactly what data you need. Just give us pre-made source already. Shouldn't science be consistent and replicable? 200 sites all coming up with their own way of collecting source and executing protocols seems crazy. Can someone please give me a compelling reason why shoving a complicated and poorly written protocol in front of a site and letting us figure it out is the status quo? >here is a procotol >cool, we did 5 visits >you did them wrong >ok so give us exact instructions on how to do them >nah #clinicaltrials #clinicalresearch

Here for the comments. Interesting discussion from all sides of the field on a topic I deal with M-F.
