PUBLIC EVENT: MATHEMATICS SAVES LIVES How bioinformatics is revolutionising cancer research The current age of big data has given scientists greater access than ever before to personal health and biometrics information vital for health discovery and innovation. We explore how medical science is harnessing the power of mathematics and statistics to improve replication and reproducibility of cancer research and address one of our greatest global health challenges. Hosted by Professor Jacqui Ramagge from School of Mathematics and Statistics at University of Sydney, this session will examine the exciting new field of âforensic bioinformaticsâ and its role in protecting the integrity of cancer research to deliver sound outcomes for scientists, clinicians and patients. Hear from Professor Keith Baggerly, from MD Anderson Cancer Centre, USA, whose analysis revealed issues with data published by Dr Anil Potti, from Duke University, and caused a retraction of the papers, cancellation of clinical trial based on the research and an investigation of scientific misconduct on Dr Potti.
