UK Biobank: a unique global platform for genomic discovery science
UK Biobank is a large-scale prospective study and research resource with de-identified genetic, proteomic, metabolomic, imaging, lifestyle, environmental, and health data from 500,000 UK adults. It is the most comprehensive and widely-used dataset of its kind, accessible globally to health researchers in academic, commercial, government, or charitable settings.
Over 30,000 researchers from 90+ countries use UK Biobank data, resulting in over 10,000 peer-reviewed publications. To support its growth and global accessibility, UK Biobank have launched a cloud-based Research Analysis Platform and aims to further democratize access through the Global Researcher Access Fund.
This 2.5 hour workshop will cover registering and accessing the resource, an overview of the data available including genomic datasets, and an introduction to the UK Biobank Research Analysis cloud-based Platform.
