Workshop: Data Science with Gen3

Thursday, April 11, 2019

The workshop on Data Science with Gen3 brought together research teams from across the country to learn about an open-source solution for accelerating and democratizing the process of scientific discovery over large complex datasets.  This technical workshop taught participants the basics of using Gen3 to manage their research data and get easy access to customizable analysis tools.  The University of Chicago hosted the event, where an engineering team from the Center for Translational Data Science led a combination of lectures and hands-on lab sessions. 

Sessions started with data modeling and curation and walked participants through the steps needed to use apps like jupyter notebooks for their custom analyses.  The group collaborated on use cases, technical setup, and 3rd party integrations. The workshop was highly interactive, and spawned many ideas around how Gen3 might enable the research community to better collaborate on the sharing of their data and analysis tools.

Audience

The workshop is designed for technical users who want to learn how to use the Gen3 open source platform to build data commons and Gen3's implementation of the Data Commons Framework Services to build data ecosystems.

Location

The workshop is held at the Knapp Center for Biomedical Discovery on the campus of the University of Chicago. Tours of the Center for Translational Data Science will be available to workshop participants.

Agenda

The workshop offers lectures, discussions, and lab sessions where participants can bring their own datasets to get technical guidance and practical data science experience using Gen3.
