Follow on Google News | Impact of imaging and robotics on accelerating scientific discoverySpecial presentation by St. Louis Cardinals adds unique angle to scientific event
The event will highlight cutting-edge science that is ramping up the pace of scientific discovery generating increased biological understanding in a wide range of organisms. Leading scientists (http://www.danforthcenter.org/ Two members of Danforth Center faculty, Todd Mockler, Ph.D., Geraldine J. and Robert L. Virgil Distinguished Investigator and Ivan Baxter, Ph.D (http://www.danforthcenter.org/ In addition, the symposium will feature a special presentation on Thursday, Sept. 26 at 2:15 p.m., New Technologies and Applications for Baseball Analytics, by Chris Correa, director of baseball development, St. Louis Cardinals (http://www.danforthcenter.org/ “Camera-and radar-based systems offer new insights on characteristics of pitches, batted balls, and players on the field. This wave of new data is improving our knowledge of the physics of baseball and complementing many baseball clubs’ traditional approaches to developing and evaluating players,” Correa said. “Many fields are integrating diverse rich data sources to build actionable knowledge. There are many common challenges in taking the huge amount of new data that novel technologies are generating, sorting out the real data, and then figuring out what it is telling you. The Cardinals are one of the most fun examples,” said Baxter. “The last decade has seen an explosion of digital profiling techniques on the molecular scale. A similar surge in digital profiling of phenotypic outputs driven by advances in imaging and robotics is underway and will grow rapidly over the next decade,” said Mockler. “Recent advances allow phenotypes to be measured quantitatively and in high throughput, enabling down stream analytics and the derivation biological knowledge. A poster session, networking and vendor show will round out the event.
