Presidential Lectures are a series of free public colloquia spotlighting groundbreaking research across four themes: neuroscience and autism science, physics, biology, and mathematics and computer science. These curated, high-level scientific talks feature leading scientists and mathematicians and are designed to foster discussion and drive discovery within the New York City research community. We invite those interested in these topics to join us for this weekly lecture series.
This Biotech Symposium will focus on perspectives on big data in biology from leading practitioners in the field. Past Biotech Symposia topics have included single nucleotide polymorphism detection, diffusion magnetic resonance imaging, structural variant detections and resting state fMRI. Future symposia will focus on related bioinformatics and neuroimaging topics.
