Introduction and research direction of biomedical big data center

 The biomedical big data center under the Institute of Science and Technology for Brain-Inspired Intelligence (ISTBI. , Fudan University. It’s an important infrastructure platform for the construction of Shanghai brain and brain-inspired major municipal projects. At present, the center has built a full-dimensional data platform of Zhangjiang International Brain Bank, with more than 520000 international shared data such as UK Biobank, ABCD and HCP, and cooperatively collected 15000 Chinese brain data such as schizophrenia, depression, autism, stroke and psychodegenerative diseases, involving multimodal data such as environment, behavior, genetics, brain images and nerves. is an important infrastructure platform for the construction of major projects in Shanghai.

Direction 1: computational genomics for brain diseases

Based on the genomics, transcriptomics and metabolomics data produced by the biomedical big data center and the mainstream public data platforms at home and abroad, based on the long and short reading sequencing data, develop algorithms to identify the genetic risk genes and variants of brain diseases in Chinese population, explore the new pathogenesis of brain diseases based on molecular multiomics, develop molecular diagnosis algorithms, and study new diagnosis and treatment methods based on big data.

Direction 2: Imaging genetics for brain diseases

Based on the data of magnetic resonance brain imaging, genomics, electronic medical records, behavior scale, environmental factors and other data produced by biomedical big data center and mainstream public data platforms at home and abroad, develop the integration method of image- molecule-behavior and other cross modal data based on machine learning and deep learning, mine the risk factors of brain diseases, and provide the basis for intelligent diagnosis of brain diseases.

Direction 3: Gut-Brain connection

Based on the microbiome data, metabolomics data and MRI data produced by the biomedical big data center and public data platform, carry out research on the analysis and algorithm development of macrogenomic data integrating long and short reading sequencing data, microbial species identification and gene function analysis, virus-bacteria interaction prediction, microbiome and image / behavior / genomics association analysis algorithm development, etc.
