The program includes three "research presentations" (one each in biostatistics, bioinformatics, and AI/ML) along with presentations describing developments in organisation and infrastructure in these fields.

Target audience

Biomedical researchers/practitioners with a mathematics/statistics/computational-based degree (e.g., mathematics, statistics, bioinformatics, engineering, physics, computer science). The organisers are especially interested in meeting researchers from outside KI. We welcome colleagues from all branches (academia/industry/government) and geographic locations. 

Registration is not required. Everyone in the target audience is welcome to attend both the lectures and the mingle.

The event is co-hosted by the Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics and the Clinicum analytic network.
