Forthcoming webinar: data discovery accelerating advances in cancer treatment

I’ll be taking part in a webinar on Thursday May 30th at 11:00am PST, in association with YarcData, on the subject of how rapid data discovery can help deal with big data challenges.

I’ll be explaining how large scale graph analytics can harness the power of ‘big data’ and bring business-focused solutions to enterprises by exploring patterns in data to prompt new questions and enable new business insight.

I’ll be joined by Ilya Shmulevich, who serves as a professor for the Institute for Systems Biology and directs a Genome Data Analysis Center as part of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).

Ilya will explain how ISB is using graph analytics and data discovery to accelerate advances in cancer treatment by identifying existing drugs which are candidates to be re-purposed to treat cancer.
