On Thursday, August 6, 2026 we will host a virtual symposium featuring the Ma’ayan Laboratory’s research trainees in the 2026 Summer Research Training Program in Biomedical Big Data Science. Our nationally acclaimed summer program for undergraduate and master’s students is a ten-week research intensive training program. The trainees in the program carry out cutting-edge research projects aimed at solving data-intensive biomedical problems with computational methods. The faculty-mentored independent research projects are in the following areas: data harmonization, machine learning, cloud computing, and dynamic interactive data visualization, and are applied to datasets from cancer, diabetes, and aging.

Please register in advance for this virtual symposium. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining via Zoom.

All faculty, staff, postdocs, and students are welcome.
