Webinar: Discover the Pathogen Data Network (PDN)

Описание: What you will discover
The Pathogen Data Network (PDN), a global initiative to make pathogen data sharing more efficient and fairer worldwide, to rapidly inform public health authorities, help find treatments to save lives and reduce social economic costs associated with global outbreaks.

This first webinar of the initiative features:
• An overview of the project and its innovative work
• A demo of the central portal of pathogen-related data and tools
• How you can engage and benefit from PDN

Who is it for
Anyone whose work involves pathogen data, including researchers, data providers, data managers and curators, epidemiologists, database developers, policymakers, and public health officials.

About PDN
Pathogens like the flu and Salmonella require global surveillance and research for effective public health responses. While FAIR and equitable data access is crucial, challenges include scattered data, diverse data types, and a lack of sharing frameworks. The Pathogen Data Network (PDN) addresses these issues by creating a global consortium and linked data ecosystem for infectious disease research and public health. Coordinated by the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics with 12 international partners, PDN aims to cover genomics, transcriptomics, proteins, and more, funded by NIH NIAID BRC (U24AI183840).
