COVID-19 has presented enormous challenges to society. Scientists and clinicians across many disciplines have worked to mitigate the spread and effects of COVID-19. This mini-symposium will feature 3 presentations focusing on how data has informed our response to the COVID-19 pandemic: the collection, analysis, and interpretation of COVID-related data.<\/span><\/p>\n

Presenters:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/td>\n\"\"<\/td>\nMelissa Miller PhD<\/a>, Professor, Department of Pathology, and Director, Clinical Molecular Microbiology Laboratory<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Presentation Title: Real-time genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in an academic medical center<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This presentation will describe a collaboration between research genomics lab and clinical microbiology lab developing rapid surveillance for COVID strain variation monitoring.\u00a0We will discuss our approach to rapid-turnaround genomic surveillance during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, including tools, challenges, and outcomes for public health.<\/span><\/p>\n

Presentation Title: Predicting the unprecedented: An ongoing saga to forecast the impacts of COVID-19 on UNC Health and the communities we serve<\/span><\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

When COVID-19 emerged in North Carolina in March 2020, UNC Health leadership quickly recognized the need for reliable forecasts of the pandemic\u2019s trajectory to inform critical decisions. The breakneck foray into real-time, action-oriented epidemiological modeling that ensued was the stuff of a data science thriller novel\u2014if only the genre existed! Here we discuss lessons learned from that ongoing journey, which spans two years and >80 model versions, from wildly diverging \u201cbest guess\u201d simulations initially to the hierarchical Bayesian formulation still in use\u2014and continually evolving\u2014today.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\" \u00a0 Emily Pfaff PhD<\/a>, Assistant Professor, Department of Medicine<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Presentation Title: What Can We Learn from 3.6 Million COVID-19 Cases?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

This presentation covers the creation, curation, and use of the National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C), a nation-spanning electronic health record dataset sourced from nearly 70 health care organizations. We will cover how the dataset was constructed, delve into a specific use-case for the data (long-haul COVID research), and discuss how you can use N3C in your own research.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This dynamic discussion forum will explore the breadth of Precision Health initiatives at UNC and facilitate connections between colleagues with similar research interests. We hope to see you there!<\/span><\/p>\n
