In late 2011, EMBL Australia successfully bid to host the 15th International Conference on Systems Biology in Melbourne in 2014.

SBI Australia welcomes interest from undergraduate and postgraduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and research and industry organisations who would like to be part of this exciting new venture.

Clinical data describing the phenotypes and treatment of patients is an underused data source that has much greater research potential than is currently realised. Mining of electronic health records has the potential to reveal unknown disease correlations, and for improving post-approval monitoring of drugs.

Professor Lars Juhl Jensen has worked on literature mining, integration of large-scale experimental data bases, and analysis of biological integration networks since 2003. His research was conducted until 2008 at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), and more recently from 2009, at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research at the Panum Institute in Copenhagen. He is also a co-founder and scientific advisor of Intomics A/S.

In his presentation , Lars will introduce the centralized Danish health Registries and how they are used for identification of temporal disease correlations and discovery of common diagnosis trajectories of patients. He will also describe how to perform text mining of the clinical narrative from electronic health records and how to use this for identification of new adverse reactions to drugs.

Throughout the past 10 years, Lars has been consistently recognised for his work. He was awarded the Lundbeck Foundation Talent Prize in 2003, and his work on cell-cycle research was named ‘Break-through of the Year’ in 2006 by the Magazine Ingeniøren. Lars’ work on text mining won the first prize of the ‘Elsevier Grand Challenge: Knowledge Enhancement in the Life Sciences’ in 2009, and he was awarded the Lundbeck Foundation Prize for Young Scientists in 2010. He is also a co-author of more than 100 scientific publications that have in total received more than 8,000 citations.
