Perspectives on Big Data in Biology
Presidential Lectures are free public colloquia centered on four main themes: Biology, Physics, Mathematics and Computer Science, and Neuroscience and Autism Science. These curated, high-level scientific talks feature leading scientists and mathematicians and are intended to foster discourse and drive discovery among the broader NYC-area research community. We invite those interested in the topic 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.
