Towards Biomedical Data Science & Precision Medicine

Data Science, including Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, has already sparked a lot of innovation and insights. But how can it create value for your domain of expertise and impact your bottom line?

SDSC-CONNECT is a series of conferences organized by the Swiss Data Science Center. We address challenges and applications in the fields of data science, machine learning and artificial intelligence, in a broad range of areas.

Join us on May 25th at EPFL Campus in Lausanne for a full-day event bringing together researchers, innovators, industrial decision-makers and data scientists to meet and discuss: “Towards Biomedical Data Science & Precision Medicine.”
