LINCS Consortium Meetings

The Consortium meets regularly to report progress and exchange ideas

Each year a meeting is held by, and for, the Library of Integrated Network-based Cellular Signatures (LINCS) Consortium. The purpose of these meetings is to gather members of the LINCS consortium to present research efforts and plans, and to work along with NIH program staff to continue to develop a successful LINCS program.

2017 Consortium Meeting

William F. Bolger Center, Potomac, MD
October 23-24
This two-day meeting was organized into the following major sessions:
  • LINCS Centers Deep Data Dive
  • Lightning Poster Presentations
  • MCF10A Joint Project
  • Stem Cell Biology and LINCS
  • Working Group Meetings (Single Cell Analyses, Data Integration, Proteomics)

2016 Consortium Meetings

2016 Consortium Meeting
NIH Campus in Bethesda
September 19-20

The annual LINCS Consortium Face-to-Face Meeting brought together the six LINCS Data and Signature Generation Centers, the BD2K-LINCS DCIC, NIH extramural staff, and external LINCS collaborators.

This two-day meeting was organized into the following sessions:
  • Data Challenges Facing Large Projects
  • Introduction to LINCS
  • Community Outreach - Accessing LINCS Data
  • MCF10A Biology
  • Working Group Meetings (Proteomics, Transcriptomics and Imaging)
University of California, Irvine
March 10-11

The first day of the meeting brought together the LINCS Data and Signature Generation Centers and the BD2K-LINCS Data Coordination and Integration Center to review progress to date and discuss the next steps for data integration and analysis across the centers. This meeting included an outreach program with experts in stem cell biology, and big data management focused on the use of current datasets.

2015 Consortium Meeting

2015 Consortium Meeting

The 2015 LINCS Consortium Meeting was held September 24-25, at the National Cancer Institute, Rockville, MD.

Center Presentations and E-Poster Session

Day 1, Thursday, September 24

Two of the primary goals of Day 1 were to (i) to enhance collaboration among LINCS Centers and ensure timely completion of the first “dense cube” projects and (ii) to identify data analysis challenges and data/metadata/database bottlenecks.

  • BD2K-LINCS DCIC: Advancing the LINCS program through data integration, tool development, research projects and outreach
  • DToxS: Integrated analysis of transcriptional signatures of cardiotoxicity resulting from kinase inhibition
  • HMS LINCS: Fundamental principles of cellular response to perturbation
  • LINCS Center for Transcriptomics
  • LINCS PCCSE: Proteomic connectivity maps of signaling and epigenetics
  • MEP LINCS: High-throughput image-based assessment of cellular phenotypes modulated by microenvironment perturbagens
  • NeuroLINCS
Joint Activities and Technologies

Day 2, Friday, September 25

The goals of Day 2 were to:

  1. Highlight joint activities of LINCS Data and Signature Generation Centers (DSGCs) and DCIC
  2. Articulate suggestions for future improvement.
