Welcome to the fourth biostatistics network meeting on Thursday 4 April, 2024 to be held at Karolinska Institutet Solna campus. The goal of these meetings is to encourage biostatisticians and those working in related fields to meet, listen to prominent thinkers, and discuss. The event is free and open to everyone working in, or interested in, biostatistics, bioinformatics, data science, epidemiology, and related fields.

We welcome colleagues from all branches (academia/industry/government) and geographic locations. The general theme of this meeting is "Where Medical Statistics meets Artificial Intelligence".
