The St. Jude Knowledge in Data Science Symposium enriches the collaborative data science culture by sharing and brainstorming ways to gain the most valuable scientific knowledge from biomedical data. This event brings together biologists, clinicians, biostatisticians, computational biologists, bioinformaticians, image analysts, structural biologists, software engineers, and others, reflecting the inherently multidisciplinary nature of data science.
What to expect:
- Expert Insights: Leaders from St. Jude and beyond share challenges they’ve encountered, solutions they’ve developed, and opportunities that remain in applying data science to biomedical research.
- Interactive Sessions: Developmental workshops, poster presentations, and collaborative discussions designed to spark innovation.
- Biohackathon Highlights: Explore solutions to pressing data science challenges developed by St. Jude Biohackathon teams.
- Lunchtime Panels: Engage with current topics shaping the future of biomedical data science.
Keynote Highlights:
Past keynote speakers have included thought leaders such as Dr. Faisal Mahmood (Harvard Medical School) and Vivek Natarajan (Google DeepMind), offering cutting-edge perspectives on data science in healthcare.
Hosted by St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, this symposium is a cornerstone of our commitment to advancing data-driven discoveries that accelerate progress against pediatric catastrophic diseases.
