Shaping the Future of the ABCD Study: A Roundtable Discussion

Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre 

Presenters will serve as panelists for a roundtable discussion, and thus will not be giving an individual lecture. Dr. Pravesh Parekh is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Oslo and a consultant to the ABCD Data Analysis, Informatics and Resource Center (DAIRC). He has actively worked on the development and dissemination of tools designed to handle the complex data structure of the ABCD Study, such as the Fast and Efficient Mixed Effects Algorithm (FEMA). Dr. Parekh is also involved in research studies integrating across ABCD Study data and other large-scale datasets, such as the UK Biobank and the Norwegian Mother/Father Child Cohort (MoBa). Dr. Parekh’s expertise will benefit audience members who are interested in integrating new scientific tools offered by ABCD’s DAIRC for analysis of large-scale imaging, behavioral and/or genetic data.
