---------------------------------

> The next Data Science seminar will be on Friday, January 20th,
> 12:00-1:00pm at the MRB Seminar Room (1st floor).

> The talk will be given by Prof. Mingxun Wang, Department of Computer
> Science and Engineering, UCR
>
> Title:
> Illuminating metabolomics dark matter - Reshaping how to mine and reuse
> big mass spectrometry data for small molecule discovery
>
> Abstract:
> High-throughput mass spectrometry has enabled unprecedented depth and
> versatility to observe the molecules in the world around us.
> Traditionally, a handful of molecules were detected in a typical
> measurement. Today, this has grown to thousands of molecules in a few
> minutes. The growth in data presents new opportunities for discovery but
> also challenges in data analysis. The development of new computational
> approaches for mass spectrometry data has already accelerated drug
> discovery, revealed the chemical dialog of the microbiome, and
> characterized the molecular dynamics of our oceans due human activity.
>
> I will describe a few computational and data science approaches that
> transform mass spectrometry data analysis from a solitary activity to a
> community wide collaborative effort – crowd-sourcing mass spectrometry
> knowledge, reusing knowledge in an error-controlled fashion, and
> computationally amplifying knowledge to make new discoveries. I will
> discuss how these tools have transformed the community and how future
> computational work can further elucidate the mass spectrometry dark
> matter.

> Sponsored by the UCR Data Science Center, the purpose of the Data Science
> Seminars is to foster collaborations between "core" Data Science  faculty
> (from CSE/ECE/Stat Departments) and faculty/visitors from other  sciences
> that face Data Science problems in their research. These  informal
> gatherings are open to interested faculty and graduate  students. Each
> meeting will start with a talk describing research problems and then a
> discussion will follow for questions, open problems, ideas for possible
> collaborations etc.

> Please forward this email to other colleagues or graduate students in your
> lab that may be interested. Moreover, if you are interested in giving a
> Data Science related talk, please contact me (tsotras at cs.ucr.edu).
