Data Science in the Life Sciences: A Symposium

The coming Fifth Industrial Revolution (5th IR) will allow us to unravel and harness data from complex biological systems on a scale eclipsing anything to date. Technology — specifically, the way we interact with it — will fundamentally alter every aspect of our lives, including how we understand and treat illness, how we promote health and how we care for aging populations. Join us as we peer into the future with the help of forward-thinking experts.
