Virtual Symposium

Join us on Thursday, August 8th at 10:00 AM ET for a virtual symposium featuring the Ma’ayan Laboratory’s undergraduate trainees in the 2024 Summer Research Training Program in Biomedical Big Data Science. This nationally acclaimed summer program for undergraduate 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 the Zoom webinar.
