DESCRIPTION:Most of what we know about human diseases and genes/proteins in
 volved in them is buried in the biomedical literature. Text mining is thus
  a key tool for creating databases with structured data on disease-gene as
 sociations and the underlying gene networks.\n\nIn this webinar\, Lars Juh
 l Jensen from the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research at t
 he University of Copenhagen\, Denmark\, will describe a highly efficiently
  text-mining pipeline\, which allows his team to systematically mine such 
 information from very large corpora of full-text articles as well as abstr
 acts. The presentation will also cover how this information is made availa
 ble through interoperable\, web-based databases\, including the DISEASES d
 atabase and the STRING database (an ELIXIR Core Data Resource).\n\nFinally
 \, Lars will show how the Cytoscape stringApp brings together these databa
 ses\, allowing users to easily retrieve\, analyze\, and visualize gene net
 works for diseases or other topics of interest.\n\nRegister\n\n \n\nAbout
  Lars Juhl Jensen\n\nLars Juhl Jensen is a professor at the Novo Nordisk F
 oundation Center for Protein Research at the University of Copenhagen in D
 enmark. His research group develops state-of-the-art tools for generation 
 and analysis of molecular interaction networks from proteomics data and te
 xt mining. The tools are freely available to the scientific community.\n\n
 Lars Juhl Jensen started his research career in Søren Brunak’s group at
  the Technical University of Denmark\, from where he in 2002 received the 
 Ph.D. degree in bioinformatics for his work on non-homology based protein 
 function prediction. During this time\, he also developed methods for visu
 alization of microbial genomes\, pattern recognition in promoter regions\,
  and microarray analysis. From 2003 to 2008\, he was at the European Molec
 ular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) where he worked on literature mining\, inte
 gration of large-scale experimental datasets\, and analysis of biological 
 interaction networks. Since 2009\, he has continued this line of research 
 as a professor at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research 
 and as a founder\, owner and scientific advisor of Intomics A/S.\n\nHe is 
 a co-author of more than 180 scientific publications that have in total re
 ceived more than 25\,000 citations. He was awarded the Lundbeck Foundation
  Talent Prize in 2003\, his work on cell-cycle research was named “Break
 -through of the Year” in 2006 by the magazine Ingeniøren\, his work on 
 text mining won the first prize in the “Elsevier Grand Challenge: Knowle
 dge Enhancement in the Life Sciences” in 2009\, and he was awarded the L
 undbeck Foundation Prize for Young Scientists in 2010.\n\nMore: jensenlab.
