dkNET Webinar: Integrative Artificial Intelligence Approach To Predict Type 1 Diabetes
Join dkNET Webinar on Friday, May 13, 2022, 11 am - 12 pm PDT
dkNET New Investigator Pilot Program in Bioinformatics Awardee Webinar Series: Integrative Artificial Intelligence Approach To Predict Type 1 Diabetes
Presenter: Kenneth Young, Ph.D. Assistant Professor, Health Informatics Institute, University of South Florida
Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a complex and heterogenous autoimmune disease that is no longer considered a clear-cut clinically diagnosed disease. T1D is multifaceted and the efficacy of therapeutic interventions varies greatly. With the evidence of etiological differences in T1D and the availability of high-dimensional multi-omics data in combination with clinical and environmental data, this project aims to use an artificial intelligence (AI) exploratory approach that may aid in the identification of new markers to predict IA and T1D.
This project utilizes data from NIDDK funded by The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) study. TEDDY has generated over 900TB of diverse data types including multi-omics data, deep phenotyping, and environmental factor measurements every three-six months for fifteen years. We utilize deep learning methods, such as convolutional neural networks (CNN) and recurrent neural networks (RNN) that apply bidirectional long short-term memory (LSTM), in combination with multi-layer perceptron (MLP), to evaluate the prediction of IA and T1D. To aid in T1D predication, this project uses innovative and transformative AI approaches that combine temporal and static data, which may ultimately provide insights into the complex heterogeneity, diversity, and pathogenesis of T1D. The knowledge gained from this project may not only help advance the T1D community, but may have a broad impact on a variety of autoimmune diseases such as celiac and thyroid diseases which frequently coexist and share genetic susceptibility to T1D.

NIDDK Workshop Registration Due: The Social Component of Diabetes Health Disparities
Extensive Diabetes Health Disparities (DHD) exist in the prevalence, control, and rates of complications of type one and type two diabetes. One important and promising direction for tackling this challenge is to engage people living with diabetes, their families and communities, and other components in their social networks in and beyond clinical settings. This workshop will bring together multidisciplinary scientists with diverse expertise relevant to SNA, interventions focused on social structures and networks, and DHD. The workshop will explore critically the state of the science and key research gaps, deliver promising and actionable directions in reducing DHD, and promote health equity by leveraging SNA and the networks and structures it analyzes.
Applications for fully-funded participation from trainees (e.g., student, resident, fellow, postdoctoral researcher, 1st/2nd year faculty) who are interested in this topic are being accepted.

Modern Phenotypic Drug Discovery: From Chemical Biology to Therapeutics
PDD as an approach to drug discovery and chemical biology has been building momentum and excitement in both academia and industry. The convergence of new technology platforms (e.g., induced pluripotent stem cells, CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing, 3D biology, advanced imaging) with other disciplines such as cheminformatics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence have led to an exciting renaissance of PDD. This meeting will bring together researchers performing or interested in phenotypic drug discovery (PDD) from across academia and industry. Although modern advances in PDD span both academic and industry sectors, there are few non-commercial drug discovery-focused meetings available for the community, and the Keystone Symposia program is a premiere forum for this topic. The previous two PDD Keystone Symposia, in 2016 and 2019, were tremendously received, and we have determined that there is ample enthusiasm for hosting another Keystone Symposium on this evolving topic. Our goals in this meeting are to 1) share information and best practices in new PDD technologies, biological models, and human disease areas; 2) foster collaborative discussions across academia and industry; and 3) address several critical barriers in the field: how to improve the physiological relevance of phenotypic models and identifying a phenotypic target and understanding a compound’s mechanism of action (MoA). We anticipate that attendees will leave with a renewed appreciation for phenotypic strategies in a wide variety of areas in chemical biology, and that the field will be advanced by expanding our collective efforts to push the boundaries of improved assay models and cutting-edge MoA technologies.

Intestinal Stem Cell - Niche Interactions in Health and Disease Conference
The past ten years have seen an explosion of information regarding intestinal stem cells (ISCs), due to an improved ability to identify ISCs, follow their fates, and manipulate ISCs in vitro. The next frontier in the ISC field is understanding the role that dysregulated ISC behavior plays in the etiology of disease, and conversely, the impact of intestinal disease on proper ISC function. This meeting will bring together a diverse group of investigators to discuss topics such as how the environment of the small intestine and colon impacts ISC behavior in healthy and diseased states, how ISC behavior and the niche differ along the proximal-distal axis of the intestine, and the strengths of various models for investigating the relationship between ISCs, the niche, and the onset and propagation of disease states.

NCBI Investigating Accurate & Equitable Representation in PubMed Search Results Codeathon
The National Library of Medicine (NLM) wants to ensure that results retrieved using the PubMed search “Best Match” ranking algorithm provide access to citations of all relevant literature. To this end, we are hosting a virtual codeathon, Investigating Accurate and Equitable Representation in PubMed Search Results, and invite you to apply!
This codeathon will bring together a diverse group of collaborators with expertise in natural language processing, search and retrieval, artificial intelligence, and data visualization. We encourage both coders and non-coding subject matter experts to apply. We will assign applicants to codeathon teams of 5-10 people based on their interests and skills. These teams will work together to uncover any inequities in PubMed “Best Match” search and suggest ways to mitigate them. The event will be cooperative rather than competitive, and teams will share ideas and technical advice.

HIRN Funding Opportunity Application Due: Catalyst Award
The Human Islet Research Network (HIRN) announces a new funding initiative to support investigators developing bold, innovative, and challenging projects that will catalyze the field and provide important advances in topics of interest to the network. To be considered “catalyzing”, the proposed research must address significant and currently intractable problems by employing approaches or ideas that are currently outside the mainstream of contemporary research. The program is not intended to expand a current research program's funding in the area of the proposed project, but instead must reflect a fundamental new insight or understanding that will revolutionize the field. Catalyzing advances may emanate from the application of exceptionally innovative approaches and/or from testing radically unconventional hypotheses. Application Deadline: May 2, 2022
