The Tri-Institutional Georgia State University/Georgia Institute of Technology/Emory University Center for Translational Research in Neuroimaging and Data Science (TReNDS) is focused on developing, applying and sharing advanced analytic approaches and neuroinformatics tools that leverage advanced brain imaging and omics data, with a goal of translating these approaches into biomarkers that can help address relevant areas of brain health and disease. Large scale data sharing and multimodal data fusion techniques are the underpinnings of our approach.
We desire to leverage the approaches created to solve the hard problems existing today, including developing brain imaging biomarkers that can be used to solve real problems
We work to effectively utilize available data to help point us in the right direction for future studies.
We draw upon engineering and computer science principles to develop new algorithms to extract the maximal information possible from the available data
We use data-driven approaches to inform theory and vice versa
We believe a highly collaborative & interdisciplinary environment is necessary to solve the hard problems we are facing today
