The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) invites you to participate in a two-day virtual workshop titled “Big Data Approaches for Novel Mechanistic Insights on Disorders of Sleep and Circadian Rhythms.” Scheduled for Thursday, May 2, 2024, from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM, and Friday, May 3, 2024, from 12:00 PM to 4:25 PM, (pending change). This gathering aims to explore the forefront of data-driven research in sleep and circadian rhythm disorders.
This workshop will highlight innovative approaches using database mining, machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) for improved detection and classification of sleep and circadian disorders, potentially paving the way for advanced therapeutic interventions. The utilization of ML and AI as a paradigm for improving disease identification, diagnosis and classification will be examined, extending its implications beyond sleep disorders to encompass a broad spectrum of heterogeneous and multifactorial diseases. The workshop will include an introduction to NHLBI’s BioData Catalyst, highlighting the features and capabilities of the platform and its applicability to disorders of sleep and circadian rhythms.
The primary goal of the workshop is to gain a comprehensive understanding of the current landscape of research on sleep and circadian rhythms, emphasizing Big Data methodologies. This workshop also aims to pinpoint potential avenues for future research funding. Featuring leading investigators from diverse career stages, this workshop is designed to engage a wide-ranging scientific audience, offering authoritative insights into the latest advancements in sleep, circadian rhythms, and the application of big data and artificial intelligence in scientific and medical research.
