PHUSE Computational Science Symposium (CSS) 2025 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
In its 14th year, the /wiki/spaces/WEL/pages/38993921 will be in Utrecht, the Netherlands 20-21 May. Please visit the PHUSE website for more information. If you have groundbreaking research, innovative methodologies or impactful case studies, we've got an exciting opportunity for you! Poster Presentations provides an opportunity to cover any of the Stream topics in a visual and engaging manner. The Poster Session is an opportune time for networking and asking fellow CSS attendees for feedback on your work. Posters are ideal for presentations that include graphics, source code, statistical or thought-provoking concepts, novel data management or handling techniques, and innovative ways to implement data standards. Posters increase visibility, allow participants to review at their own pace and enable conversation about the topics presented. The Poster Session is taking place on 20 May and will offer an unparalleled platform to showcase your work, receive valuable feedback and engage in Q&A with attendees. Submit a 150-word abstract by 28 February.

Please Welcome Jennifer Khron as a new Risk Based Quality Management lead. Jennifer Krohn, MS, currently serves as Associate Director, RBQM at Gilead Sciences. In her role, Jenn advises study teams on implementing risk-based monitoring strategies and leads initiatives working to develop enhanced technology and processes for centralised monitoring, risk assessments and site monitoring approaches. This role expands upon her 16 years’ experience in the CRO sector, where she spent a decade helping build centralised monitoring, leading data analyst teams and serving as QTL BPO. Prior to the RBQM space, Jenn worked in a variety of clinical trial roles across a wide range of therapeutic areas, from the site level as study coordinator, to the CRO side in clinical operations (CRA), data management and feasibility. Jenn previously co-led the Central Monitoring project, under the PHUSE RBQM Working Group. She holds a master’s degree in biology with a focus in biochemistry and physiology from the University of North Carolina Wilmington. |
Announcement - Emerging Trends and Technologies Working Group Has Changed its Name! |
|---|
There’s been an exciting change in Working Groups recently… The Emerging Trends and Technologies Working Group has officially evolved into the Emerging Trends and Innovation Working Group! Why the change? Working Group Lead Mike Hamidi shares what brought about this change of name and scope: "The name change from Emerging Trends & Technologies to Emerging Trends & Innovation reflects a broader focus beyond technological enablement. This shift encompasses ongoing developments in areas such as AI/ML, digital health technologies and healthcare standards and aims to provide deeper insights into these and other evolving topics. This adjustment will preserve the emphasis on emerging trends while enhancing our commitment to delivering valuable industry insights and innovations.” We are equally excited to welcome Mark Bynens, the new Working Group Lead. He joins Mike Hamidi and Stuart Malcolm, expanding the team’s expertise and capacity. Mark Bynens brings a wealth of experience as Director and Scientific Computing Operations (SCO) Head within Statistics & Decision Sciences (SDS), Global Development at Johnson & Johnson. Mark leads initiatives in change management, project management, education, high-performance computing, and statistical research. Learn more about the Working Group Leads and their efforts here.

The Using OMOP and Other Real World Data Standards to Support Regulatory Submissions, a new project within the Real World Evidence Working Group, is calling for volunteers. The project includes developing awareness of data standards specific to real-world data to support regulatory purposes. Common data models (CDMs) and taxonomies that are specific to the most commonly used real-world data sources by industry, member companies and regulatory bodies across the globe will be in scope, such as electronic health record sources, patient-reported outcomes, widely accepted claims data sources, and other commonly used observational data. OMOP and the OHDSI community will be the focus, and will be evaluated against other CDMs and standards (such as PCORnet, Sentinel and CDISC). If you would like to volunteer or learn more about this project, email workinggroups@phuse.global. Closing date: 5 March. The Kick-Off Meeting for this project will be held 6 March at 14:00-15:00 (GMT) / 9:00-10:00 (EST). |
The SEND Coding Bootcamp is a new project within the Nonclinical Topics Working Group, is calling for volunteers. The 4-day SEND Coding Bootcamp aims to help those working with SEND datasets become more productive by teaching basic coding and plotting skills. Over the course of a series of separate hands-on coding sessions, participants will learn the basics of programming and plotting using the R programming language. The course will be oriented around SEND datasets and will include reading, writing, plotting, and manipulating SEND datasets stored in .xptformat. Basic knowledge of the SEND standard is expected. No previous knowledge about programming or the R programming language is needed. If you would like to volunteer or learn more about this project, email workinggroups@phuse.global. Closing date: 1 April. |
