> Sage Bionetworks is a nonprofit organization working to transform the

> software platform that delivers the underlying infrastructure to enable

> and other biomedical data.  Posing research questions as open challenges on
> Synapse has proven an effective mechanism to catalyze the formation of

> data.  In this seminar, Dr. Kellen will discuss the Synapse technology
> platform and data repository, and its potential to impact large-scale
> collaborative research.
