Topic

Genomics, Imaging and AI - three technologies that are changing biological research through to clinical practice

Description

Over the last two decades three major technologies have developed as the bed rock of how we understand living systems; genomics, including nucleic acid based molecular biology readouts, imaging from near-atomic resolution to whole organism structures and machine learning including the very large non-linear architectures of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Dr. Ewan Birney will provide a brief tour of this technology development, using examples from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and touching on both fundamental biological discoveries through to clinical applications. He will end by providing a perspective for the future of this triad with their impressive opportunities, the landscape of data and skills needed to actualise them and some potential pitfalls to avoid.

In 2000, he became Head of Nucleotide data at EMBL-EBI and in 2012 he took on the role of Associate Director at the institute. He became Director of EMBL-EBI in 2015. In 2020, Ewan became the Deputy Director General of EMBL. In this role, he assists the EMBL Director General in relation to engagement with EMBL Member States and external representation. Ewan led the analysis of the Human Genome gene set, mouse and chicken genomes and the ENCODE project, focusing on non-coding elements of the human genome. Ewan’s main areas of research include functional genomics, DNA algorithms, statistical methods to analyse genomic information (in particular information associated with individual differences in humans and Medaka fish) and use of images for chromatin structure.
