Video recordings of the LINCS Virtual Symposium are available on the BD2K-LINCS DCIC YouTube channel.
The Common Fund Library of Integrated Network-based Cellular Signatures (LINCS) program was launched in 2010. Its focus is perturbational biology undertaken at scale to create community resources for query and analysis. By using a multi-omic approach, LINCS investigators have built a catalog of cellular responses (signatures) from various assays (transcriptomics, proteomics, imaging) performed on a variety of different cell types following genetic, small molecule, antibody, or microenvironment perturbations.
The LINCS Virtual Symposium took place on November 19-20, 2020 beginning at 11:00AM EST each day. The symposium featured major scientific achievements and insights on:
- Drug action and prediction of drug-related adverse events
- Integration of multiple data types
- Methodologies for rigorous reproducible biological research
- Computational tools for data integration and data FAIRness
- Future challenges in perturbational biology
The symposium also included presentations from industry and academic users of LINCS data and tools. Links to video recordings of the LINCS Virtual Symposium are now available on the BD2K-LINCS DCIC YouTube channel. You can also follow #LINCSVirtualSymposium on Twitter for the latest updates.
