CORE F: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND BIOINFORMATICS – SUMMARY/ABSTRACT This Core will meet two major unmet needs for our Nathan Shock Center and the geroscience community at large. First, we will offer integrated statistical and bioinformatics consulting for all Center-supported projects from experimental design through to publication. This ensures that our Center resources have the greatest opportunity to support high-impact studies in aging research and also meets an important goal of enhancing rigor and reproducibility in biomedical research. Second, we will bring state-of-the-art computational approaches, particularly in the area of Artificial Intelligence (AI), to support Center users and maximize the impact of the other Resource Cores.
