http://www.ntnu.edu/hunt

International biobank storing whole blood and DNA from 200,000 individuals, serum and plasma samples from more than 100,000 individuals as well as urine, RNA tubes, cells, buffy coat and Na-heparin tubes for environmental analysis for as many as 50,000 individuals. All bio-specimens from the HUNT surveys are collected, processed and stored at the HUNT Biobank in Levanger. The National CONOR Biobank is located on the same site, where it serves as a central research repository for DNA samples from all the largest Norwegian health surveys. These make up the Cohorts of Norway (CONOR), which include samples from more than 200,000 individuals. * HUNT 1 was carried out in 1984-1986 to establish the health history of 75,000 people. * HUNT 2, carried out in 1995-1997, focused on the evolution of the health history of 74,000 people. This included blood sample collection from 65,000 people. The data that accompany biospecimens in the biobank are stored in secured computer systems that run complex database management and analysis software. * HUNT 3 was completed in June 2008. 93,210 people were invited to participate in the study, and as of the 6th of June, 2008, 48,289 people participated (52% participation rate). The data, collected by means of questionnaires, interviews, clinical examinations and collection of blood and urine samples, will be ready for analysis in January 2009. * Young-HUNT is the adolescent part of HUNT including participants aged 13-19 years. Young-HUNT1 (1995-97) was conducted as part of HUNT2, 9141 adolescents participated (90% response rate). Young-HUNT2 (2000-01) was a follow-up study of Young-HUNT1, 2400 students participated in both studies (77% of the invited). Young-HUNT3 (2006-08) was a new cross-sectional study as part of HUNT3. This time 8677 adolescents participated (87% response rate). Data collection included self-reported questionnaires, structured interviews, clinical measurements and, in Young-HUNT3, buccal smears. All institutions with research expertise can apply for access to analyze HUNT data. Projects must have recommendations from The Regional Committee for Medical Research in Norway (REK) and be registered with The Norwegian Social Science Data Services (NSD).

This Matlab toolkit is a general purpose tool for editing, visualizing, and analyzing EEG data (both Event Related Potential - ERP and spectral) whose most recent version has been downloaded over 1000 times. Its three chief highlights are: 1) an optimized automatic artifact correction function that includes ICA correction for eye blinks and saccades. 2) Extensive support for easily conducting PCA and ICA through all stages of the procedure, including inspection of reconstituted waveforms and batch ANOVAs. 3) Implementation of robust ANOVAs, including McCarthy-Wood vector test. It has a graphical user interface for point and click usage and comes with an extensive illustrated tutorial. A description of the toolkit was published in Dien (2010) in Journal of Neuroscience Methods. It relies on both internal functions as well as borrowed functions from both EEGlab and FieldTrip.

The NCBCs are a set of networked computation core facilities for biomedical infrastructure funded under the NIH Common Fund, the National Program of Excellence in Biomedical Computing (NPEBC). There are seven funded Centers that cover systems biology, image processing, biophysical modeling, biomedical ontologies, information integration, and tools for gene-phenotype and disease analysis. The centers will create innovative software programs and other tools that enable the biomedical community to integrate, analyze, model, simulate, and share data on human health and disease. Each Center has Cores that are focused on (1) computational science, (2) biomedical computational science and (3) driving biological projects whose intent is to drive the interaction between computational and biomedical computational science. In addition to the Centers, the NIH has a number of active program announcements to develop collaborations with the biomedical research community��this includes announcements from the Biomedical Information Science and Technology Initiative (BISTI) and the Program for Collaborations with National Centers for Biomedical Computing. There are numerous efforts in education and training that emanate from the Centers and there is an annual all hands meeting.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/gsa-snp/

A tool for the gene-set (or pathway) analysis of a genome-wide association study result. It accepts a genome-wide list of SNPs and their association P-values. It summarizes the SNP P-values into nearby genes. The gene-by-gene summary results are then further summarized by gene-sets such as Gene Ontology, KEGG pathways, or user-created gene-sets. Various standardization and statistical tests can be performed and the resulting gene-sets that pass a significance level after multiple-testing correction are reported. The tool is written in Java and is available as a standalone version.

The vision of the JHU ICMIC is to combine state-of-the-art imaging capabilities with powerful molecular biology techniques to define strategies with intent to cure. It has drawn upon its human resources at JHU to create a center consisting of a multidisciplinary group of premier individuals with diverse skills focused on translating molecular capabilities into imaging possibilities with the single purpose of understanding and curing cancer. Nearly all of the investigators participating in this ICMIC have interactive collaborative projects with one or more of the other investigators. The synergism generated by the collective skills of this unique group of individuals will lead to significant advances in the understanding of cancer and its treatment. The JHU ICMIC structure consists of four interactive and closely related research components focused on hypoxia, HIF-1, and exploiting the hypoxia response element to target cancer cells through choline kinase inhibition. These research components are anchored by the participation of world renowned expertise in HIF-1. The research components utilize MR, PET and Optical Imaging technology to understand cancer vascularization, invasion and metastasis, to achieve effective cancer therapy. The center has selected developmental projects which are highly relevant to the goals of the ICMIC and interactive with the research components. Five resources devoted to adminstration, molecular biology, imaging, probes, and translational application provide the infrastructure to support the research activities of the ICMIC. Research Components in the JHU ICMIC: - Combining Anti-angiogenic therapy with siRNA targeting of choline kinase. - Imaging the Role of HIF-1 in Breast Cancer Progression - Imaging and Targeting Hypoxia in Solid Tumors - Molecular and Functional Imaging of the HER-2/neu Receptor The following are developmental projects currently taking place in ICMIC 1. Receptor imaging using nonparamagnetic MRI contrast agents (2003) 2. New imaging agents for prostate cancer (2003) 3.
