Connecting Data and Novel Tools for Impact on Cancer—Updates from NCI
If you’re attending the 2023 International Conference on Healthcare Informatics from June 26-29, you’ll have the chance to hear CBIIT’s Dr. Jill Barnholtz-Sloan speak during the Data Science and Informatics Core for Cancer Research (DSICCR) workshop. This is a great opportunity if you’re interested in artificial intelligence (AI), data analysis, and other tools for cancer research.
Dr. Barnholtz-Sloan is the keynote speaker at the DSICCR workshop, which is formally titled, Data Science and AI Applications in Cancer Research. She will give an update from NCI on connecting data and novel tools for impacting cancer.
Additional topics at the DSICCR workshop include:
- data science for cancer research.
- electronic health records data mining.
- multi-omics data analysis.
- the latest AI research.
Dr. Barnholtz-Sloan is the associate director of the Informatics and Data Science Program. She leads efforts at CBIIT to shape informatics and data science strategies and foster collaboration across the cancer research community. She is pursuing a research agenda in descriptive epidemiology and etiology of brain tumors as a senior intramural investigator in NCI’s Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics Trans-Divisional Research Program. As both an active researcher and administrator, she has insight into how to translate data into real-world solutions to help diagnose, prevent, and treat cancer.
