Next-Generation DNA Sequencing Techiniques: Challenges
and Opportunities for Personalized Medicine |
|
Next-generation DNA sequencing (NGS) techniques could
dramatically reduce the cost and generate huge amount of various types
of DNA sequence data throught different experimental designs. With the
rapid development of NGS, not only the enormous opportunities are occuring
in biological and medical research fields, but also healthcare and clinical
practices based on personal genomic information are becoming a reality.
In other words, the era of personalized medicine is coming. However,
great chanllenges are still remaining for both biologists and information
scientists to improve sample preparation, sequencing accuracy and efficiency,
data processes and interpretation in order to meet the future medical
revolution. Here, recent progresses in both technologies and bioinformatic
analysis related to next generation DNA sequencing will be introduced.
A novel platform for next generation DNA sequencing and related applications
will be presented. |

About
Dr. Sabah Mohammed |
Dr. Sabah Mohammed started his career during 1977 as a Multimedia Maintenance
Engineer working for Canon and Sony following his hobby in Electronics,
although he completed his bachelor degree in Mathematics (HBSc 1977).
>From July 1979 he started his graduate studies where he received his
degrees in Computer Science from Glasgow University-UK (PgD 1980, MPhil
1981) and from Brunel University-UK (PhD 1986). Since late 2001, Dr. Mohammed
is a full Professor of Computer Science at Lakehead University. Formerly,
from 1986-1995, Dr. Mohammed was an Assistant/Associate Professor of Computer
Science at various universities including (BU, Amman University, Philadelphia
University, Applied Science University and HCT). Sabah is interested in
intelligent systems that have to operate in large, nondeterministic, cooperative,
survivable, adaptive or partially known domains. Although his research
is inspired by his PhD work on the employment of some Brain Activity-Structures
based techniques for decision making (planning and learning) that enable
processes (e.g. agents, mobile objects) and collaborative processes to
act intelligently in their environments to timely achieve the required
goals, Sabah extended his research vision to include constructivism and
focus more on the nature of knowledge. Since knowledge is created by people
and influenced by their values and culture, Sabah research stated to shift
more towards net centric systems (e.g. Cloud Computing, Social Networking
and Enterprise Systems, Web-Based Systems). During the last nine years,
Sabah research is focused on developing ubiquitous healthcare systems
that enable sharing securely knowledge and data in an effective way. In
particular sharing Electronic Health Record (EHRs) over the Web is one
of the very challenging problems that Sabah tries to solve. Sabah believes
that finding good solutions for sharing EHRs requires approaches that
cut across many different fields (e.g. Semantic Web, Web 2.0, Web 3.0,
Ubiquitous Computing, Medical Informatics, XML Security and Artificial
Intelligence).. He published several research articles in an attempt to
promote EHRs interoperability and sharing. Recently he edited and authored
a notable book on “Ubiquitous Health and Medical Informatics: The
Ubiquity 2.0 and Beyond” by IGI Global that will be published during
April 2010.
Dr. Mohammed professional career includes many achievements. He is the
Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Emerging Technologies in Web Intelligence
(JETWI) of the Academy Publisher-Finland (http://www.academypublisher.com/jetwi/index.html)
since early 2009. He was a Visiting Scholar at the Math and Computer Science,
Laurentian University (Winter 2008). He is a Professional Software Engineer
of Ontario (P.Eng.) and Canada Information Processing Professional (ISP).
Dr. Mohammed is an active member of Canada’s e-Health Interoperability
group (http://www.simbioses.ca/ehealth/) and the coordinator on Northern
Ontario Web Intelligence Research Group (NOWI http://www2.cs.uregina.ca/~wi/).
Besides being an active member of the Department of Computer Science here
at Lakehead University, Dr. Mohammed is among the core faculty members
of both the Lakehead University Bioinformatics and BioTechnology programs.
Moreover, Dr. Mohammed is an Adjunct Research Professor with the University
of Western Ontario. More recently, Dr. Mohammed joined the core members
of the BioTechnology PhD program.
His membership in these programs enables him to supervise good number
of MSc and PhD students. Actually, Dr. Mohammed is passionate about helping
students and young researchers to get a good start in their careers. His
teaching involves many important courses in Computer Science including:
Mobile Programming, Artificial Intelligence, Programming Languages and
Object-Oriented Design and Methodologies. During 2006, Dr. Mohammed was
the recipient of the Contribution to Teaching Award. Dr. Mohammed has
also some notable administrative services as he chaired three Computer
Science and Information Systems departments including (Philadelphia University-Jordan
(1995-1997), Applied Science University-Jordan (1997-2000), HCT-Sultanate
of Oman (2000-2001)). Dr. Mohammed published more than 90 refereed articles,
chapters in books and three textbooks. He supervised more than 20 Masters
Students and one PhD student. More on Dr. Mohammed career and publications
can be found at his webpage (http://flash.kakeheadu.ca/~mohammed). |
