Biomedical CyberInfrastructure challenges

Abstract

Biomedical research traverses a new era of advancements through the adoption of massive computing and big-data solutions to major scientific problems. However, the road ahead is far from "a walk in a park" -- many obstacles exist in the standardization, adoption, and evolution of methods, practices, algorithms, tools, and ultimately knowledge, that would mature along this road. In this article, we discuss such challenges that we encountered in this field and possible solutions from the iDASH program that closely engages this community.
