October 27-28, 2025
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
The St. Jude Knowledge in Data Science Symposium will enrich the collaborative data science culture by sharing and brainstorming ways to gain the most valuable scientific knowledge from biomedical data. It will bring together biologists, clinicians, biostatisticians, computational biologists, bioinformaticians, image analysts, structural biologists, software engineers, and others, as data science is an intrinsically multidisciplinary field.
Experts from St. Jude and elsewhere, working at the forefront of their fields, will share the challenges they have encountered, solved, and those that remain in data science for biomedical research in invited oral sessions and a contributed poster reception.
Join developmental workshops, explore solutions to pressing data science challenges from St. Jude Biohackathon teams, and attend lunchtime panels on current topics.
Don’t miss the keynote presentations by Dr. Faisal Mahmood, Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School, and Vivek Natarajan, Research Scientist at Google DeepMind!
