Having a blast at the #VICC #CIViC #ClinGen hackathon reception at #CGC2023, sponsored by the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health #GA4GH

Current #GA4GH #ELIXIREurope #Beacon protocol work mode: Tuscan.

A warm welcome to Nara Sobreira as my new co-lead in the #GA4GH Discovery work stream! Let’s work on making genomic data sharing for rare diseases and cancer a bit easier :-) https://www.ga4gh.org/news_item/ga4gh-discovery-work-stream-welcomes-new-co-lead-nara-sobreira-of-johns-hopkins-medicine/

The @PET_BioNews@twitter.com commissioned a survey to measure people’s understanding and attitudes towards areas of science and medicine, including genetics and genomics. #GA4GH's Public Attitudes for Genomic Policy group discusses the survey's findings: https://bit.ly/3ZO9m5g

@wes_goar presenting on the #GA4GH #VRS standard at #PSB23, and illustrating the challenges of standardizing concepts across genomics communities (i.e. VCF, HGVS, PGx, etc.)

So #Go is going to be my 'new' language of choice. I keep sidling up to Python piece by piece as it is required but honestly I never feel at home there. New Year's resolution anyhow #programming

I need some side projects to motivate and some of the standards around #GA4GH are my current interest.

Hi everyone, here’s my go at an #introduction. I’m Alex, a Principal Investigator at the Institute for Genomic Medicine at Nationwide Children’s Hospital.

My lab works on models and tools for standardizing the representation and interpretation of genomic variants in cancer, with a focus on improving knowledge computability.

I spend a lot of time working in consortia settings on things like #GA4GH VRS (“verse”) and the #HGVS nomenclature.

I’m excited to be on Mastodon and genomic.social!

Nice overview of EU #Data #Governance Act from #GA4GH - DGA will pave way for European "data spaces" + hopefully make information ‘as open as possible, as closed as necessary’ w/ key #DataSharing infrastructure as well as a key bridge w/ #GDPR by requiring practical tools for individuals (and companies) to exercise their rights Link: https://www.ga4gh.org/news/ga4gh-gdpr-briefs-the-eu-data-governance-act-new-pathways-for-consented-re-use-of-information/

Same username, same profile, still same job - computational biologist in Melbourne working on (clinical) cancer #genomics, standards via #GA4GH and national infrastructure as part of #AustralianGenomics

#UKBB (Mark Effingham) presents at #DSIAfrica , describing both the rich data resource but also the #GA4GH friendly cloud platform (#DNAnexus ) by which they’re providing user access to it. Melanie Courtot in the lower right corner.
