Foundations of Biomedical Data Science Virtual Seminar Series - ENIGMA and COINSTAC: Turning small datasets into big ones

The use of the Collaborative Informatics and Neuroimaging Suite Toolkit for Anonymized Computation (COINSTAC) platform in the Enhancing Neuroimaging Genetics through Meta-Analysis (ENIGMA) consortium combines the technological approach of decentralized, privacy-preserving analyses with the sociological approach of sharing data.

Jessica Turner, PhD will first present how ENIGMA and COINSTAC support neuroimaging data re-use and analysis, and then showcase their integration with a decentralized meta-analysis of sex differences in schizophrenia. This work highlights the improvements needed for true data access and re-use while protecting data restrictions, as well as future connections to other resources for improved access.
