4130 Overland Ave,Culver City CA 90230

24 May, 2022

Description

Join us as academics, industry professionals, investors, educators, and policymakers discuss advances of big data in healthcare. Biotech Connection Los Angeles (BCLA) is excited to announce our annual Healthcare Symposium on the topic of Big Data in Medicine. This symposium will bring together leaders from diverse backgrounds, including academics, industry professionals, investors, public health educators, and policymakers to partake in this important discussion. In recent years, data collection and data tracking have become a driving factor in many interpretations and decisions made in healthcare, industry, and academia. The interactions between consumers and the services they use are often analyzed to personalize experiences. Yet, the consumer is not always aware of how their data is used - creating some controversy surrounding transparency and permission. This year, we aim to take a deep dive into the world of big data in healthcare exploring the benefits as well as the changes that may permit an increased acceptance among the public.

BCLA Core Sponsors:Established in 2000 as one of the Governor Gray Davis California Institutes for Science and Innovation, the California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI) is a hub of interdisciplinary research, translation, and education where scientists from diverse fields find common purpose in addressing grand challenges of the 21st century. With locations at the University of California’s Los Angeles and Santa Barbara campuses, the CNSI leverages public and private investment to drive collaborative nanoscience research across disciplines, translates discoveries into knowledge-driven commercial enterprises, and educates the next generation of scientists and engineers. https://cnsi.ucla.edu Building upon the university’s Michelson Center for Convergent Bioscience Initiative, the Bridge Institute unites eminent professors across the entire university, including the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, the USC Viterbi School of Engineering and the Keck School of Medicine of USC, as well as animators and cinematographers in the USC School of Cinematic Arts and the USC Institute for Creative Technologies, and technology transfer experts in the USC Stevens Center for Innovation. We are artists, engineers, scientists and physicians bridging the molecules of life to improve the human condition. Imagine a world where scientific data is released from the confines of its originating discipline, allowing us to better understand, integrate and advance knowledge. Our values are Teamwork, Imagination, Innovation, Learning, Teaching, and Convergence. https://dornsife.usc.edu/bridge-institute BioscienceLA’s mission is to ensure that Los Angeles has a collaborative, well-coalesced ecosystem that encompasses all aspects of the Southern California life sciences cluster – biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, medical diagnostics, bioinformatics, healthcare IT, medtech, digital health, and more. BioscienceLA is not designed to duplicate existing activities or organizations but to help harmonize the efforts of all regional stakeholders -- academic institutions, research hospitals, investors, startups, mature companies, trade associations, public and quasi-public agencies, and others -- to advance Los Angeles’ capacity and pace of innovation. https://biosciencela.org/ Founded in 1997, KGI is a proud member of The Claremont Colleges.
