EdgeLeap and UMCU at the Design, Research & Innovation festival
New developments in data technology, availability of self-monitoring devices, and raised self-empowerment in health maintenance stimulate innovative approaches to health and wellness management.
EdgeLeap and University Medical Center Utrecht (UMCU) are organizing “Meaningful data & smart fashion” session at the DRIVE festival (25-26 October 2017, Eindhoven, The Netherlands) to steer discussion on how leveraging innovations in data science leads to faster and better informed decisions in healthcare. A case from the UMCU Psychiatry department will be discussed, where EdgeLeap helped to set up a sustainable and collaborative data science environment and bring data-driven insights closer to the bedside.
See you in Eindhoven!

Integrating knowledge repositories: proceeding talk at ECCB 2016
Much of the biological knowledge accumulated over the last decades is stored in different databases governed by various organizations and institutes. To rapidly connect these vast knowledge repositories, our associate PhD student Georg Summer has built the Network Library: a framework and toolset to rapidly integrate different knowledge sources to build a network biology resource for a specific application. At the 15th European Conference on Computational Biology (ECCB), held on September 3-7 2016 in The Hague, The Netherlands, Georg has an opportunity to present his work on the interactions of genes related to heart failure with miRNAs and diseases through the integration of 6 databases.
