Advanced Imaging and AI Technologies Providing New Image and Data Analysis Challenges and Opportunities

Richard Goodwin

AstraZeneca

Dir & Head of Imaging & AI

2:30 PM – 2:50 PM EDT on Wednesday, October 7

AstraZeneca is empowering its scientists to see the complexity of a disease in unprecedented detail to enable effective development and selection of new medicines. This is enabled though the use of an extensive range of cutting-edge imaging technologies that support studies into the efficacy and safety of drugs through the R&D pipeline. This presentation will introduce the range of novel in vivo and ex vivo imaging technologies employed, describe the data challenges associated with scaling up the use of molecular imaging technologies, and address the new data integration and mining challenges. Novel computational methods are required for large cohort imaging studies that involve tissue based multi-omics analysis, which integrate spatial relationships in unprecedented detail.

  • Small molecule – not suitable for complex diseases
  • focus on quality vs quantity
  • compound for commercial value
  • right safety
  • Imaging supports R&D: Molecular, medical, big data and AI
  • convergence of ML for decision making
  • Spatial imaging: morphology
  • Multiplex imaging like MRI
  • Multimodal analysis: tissue data and invivo holistic understanding of drug delivery
  • spacial transcriptomics proteomics: imaging platforms in R&D
  • AZ invest in imaging technologies already impacting projects: AI-empowered imaging delivering subcellular resolution
  • Mass Spec Imaging (MSI) – ex-vivo imaging techniques- spatial distribution of molecular
  • cartography of cancer: Drug metabolite distribution – NEW understanding of disease and drug distribution in tissue
  • DATA: digitization, integration, analysis, exploration
  • Digital pathology and beyond – AI Image Analysis – AI outperform pathololigst and radiologists
  • Data volume and dimensionality challenge and opportunity
  • Data volume and dimensionality: complete image
  • AZ Oncology – disease is understood for drug discovery using Imaging technology

9:00 AM – 10:40 AM EDT on Thursday, October 8

The “Trends from the Trenches” will celebrate its 10th Anniversary at Bio-IT! Since 2010, the “Trends from the Trenches” presentation, given by Chris Dagdigian, has been one of the most popular annual traditions on the Bio-IT Program. The intent of the talk is to deliver a candid (and occasionally blunt) assessment of the best, the worthwhile, and the most overhyped information technologies (IT) for life sciences. The presentation has helped scientists, leadership, and IT professionals understand the basic topics related to computing, storage, data transfer, networks, and cloud that are involved in supporting data-intensive science. In 2020, Chris will give the “Trends from the Trenches” presentation in its original “state-of-the-state address” followed by guest speakers giving podium talks on relevant topics. An interactive Q&A moderated discussion with the audience follows. Come prepared with your questions and commentary for this informative and lively session.

Q&A

  • Project vs enterprise – Sequencing for internal research vs for clients’ data
  • Tension in governmental agencies – no robust solutions: IT, Science, Management
  • different Use cases need different infrastructure: HW & SW: Storage and data exploration
  • Data Lakes: rule base, enterprising – training is an issue in organizations
  • Management, Scientists, IT in enterprises – terra byte of storage, budgets issues, conversation on the limits that IT can ofer putting more burden on the Scientists for triage and quotas – business and scientific value
  • New capabilities in organizations: hands on in data management tactical of data management not IT bur data engineering
  • Citizen Science: privacy vs plants and microbes – no privacy issues
  • Incentives need be changed for Data Citations in addition to Papers
  • Curation Citations as Authorship citation
  • Data sharing in Cancer: GEN3 – NCI Data Commons, Data Governance and Data Permission (Access) – NCI does work in data commons – much data outside this space
  • EBI – in UK Sanger Institute has the infrastructure in one place
  • Migrating Project based Data structure: that involves scientist decisions that should not be a quota (storage is full)  in the IT space
  • Human to Human communications vs tools for data migration
  • Which Organizations get the data curation and annotation well: Subject matter from day 1 – hard to teach vs data engineering skills; TEAM as a solving is critical in Biomedical space no incentives
  • BBC – Meta tagging system is outstanding
  • NCAST TRANSLATOR – across organizations
  • Changing incentives – MORE organizations will do that task better
  • Common metadata across domains with predict uses of data in the Future – collaboration of CS to create in the science organization tagging like in BBC
