Background
In 2023, the Life Science Informatics (LSI) Curriculum at the Bonn-Aachen International Center for Information Technology (B-IT) celebrated its 20th anniversary. Three dedicated professors, committed to fostering talent in applied and translational research, launched a symposium to reflect the program’s mission – nurturing the next generation of professionals for industrial research.
What was meant to be a single event at that time exceeded all expectations, leading to the decision to establish an annual symposium. And here we go: welcome to the second edition in our newly started series, “AI in the Life Sciences – An Industry Symposium.”
As the title says, we are focusing on translational AI research that is clearly relevant to application in the Life Sciences industries, namely the pharmaceutical industry, but also the biotech and medtech industries.
This year, we will explore two focus areas:
- Day one is dedicated to Medical Research Data and its use in collaborative projects. The AI hype sometimes makes us forget about the need for high-quality, patient-level data. We have invited international leaders in Medical Research Data Management and Federated Learning.
- Day two focuses on industrial AI approaches in Digital Medicine, in Precision Medicine and in Clinical Trials. The second day of our symposium illustrates in an impressive panel of talks how patient-level data – once made available in high quality and large quantities – can be used in AI-powered precision medicine and pharmaceutical trials.
We look forward to welcoming you to an engaging and insightful event at Birlinghoven Castle!
