About
Description
With the democratization of omics technologies and the material to conduct high throughput experiments, life sciences laboratories and research institutes are generating more and more data.
Organized in partnership with the Montréal Clinical Research Institute, the seminar is is your start-up kit to design and lead health research projects driven by data science, artificial intelligence and related techniques. It aims at life science researchers and students seeking new ways to exploit these data in order to advance in their research objectives.
Objectives
- Understand the current context and opportunities arising from recent developments in artificial intelligence and related disciplines
- Demystify AI
- Raise awareness of the organizational, ethical and legal issues surrounding health data
Registration
