Keynote speaker, Keith Baggerly research interests involve the analysis of high-throughput biological data, and centers on themes of experimental design and reproducible research. He is best known as a practitioner of "forensic bioinformatics", where raw data and reported results are used to reconstruct what the methods must have been. He has been the leading investigator exposing the flaws and shortcomings of research performed by Anil Potti at Duke university. In the end, this has led to the retraction of four high-profile publications from Duke and shutdown of three clinical trials using these results. Prof. Baggerly is a strong advocate of sharing all data and code and having appropriate data manageme! nt plans t o ensure that research results are reusable and reproducible.

The title of his talk is: When is Reproducibility an Ethical Issue? Genomics, Personalized Medicine, and Human Error

Moreover we will have three more great talks by:
