The workshop is open to students and scientists wishing to learn more about UK Biobank and related initiatives, and the computational methodology to analyse and interpret biobank datasets. In addition to in-depth information about UKB and how to access and exploit UKB data such as whole-genome sequences on the whole cohort, presentations will include discussion of other programs on precision medicine from Japan, Canada and Hong Kong, methodology for biobank scaled data generation, and practical introductions to computational methods for analysis of self-report and administrative data, polygenic risk scores, and fine-mapping.
