Workshop on Processing of Genomic Information: From Standards to Deployment
13:30 – 19:00, 19th July 2017 – Torino (Italy)
Sala dei Mappamondi, Academy of Sciences, Via Accademia delle Scienze, 6, Torino
Organized by
Italian Institute for Genomic Medicine (IIGM)
and
International Organisation for Standardisation
Technical Committee 276 “Biotechnology”
and MPEG (ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 29/WG 11)
A workshop on applications of genomic information processing has been held on 19th July 2017 in Torino, Italy, co-located with the 119th MPEG meeting.
The workshop intended to explore the opportunities for improved health services offered by the availability in late 2018 of an ISO standard on compression of genomic information and its impact on the relevant industry.
Specifically the workshop addressed:
- the potential of genomic information usage in public health
- the IT challenges for the widespread usage of genomic data in public health
- public policy on big data economy and genomics
- a status report on the development of the ISO genomic compression standard
- how the investors community can help progress the standard to deployment
- how the appropriate usage of genomic data drives efficient drug development
- how the genomic data processing industries can benefit from the standard
- how health services can be affected by the massive application of genome processing
Organizing Committee:
Ruggero De Maria (IIGM), Diego Gibellino (TIM), Claudio Alberti (EPFL), Tom Paridaens (imec and UGent)
