This year's symposium, themed "Empowering Medical Insights with Data and AI", will feature ten scientific sessions and four short courses from over 40 outstanding speakers. Our scientific sessions will explore a broad spectrum of data science topics in biomedical and clinical research, with short courses focusing on emerging topics such as generative AI and large language models, novel clinical trial design, as well as single-cell and spatial informatics. We expect the symposium to attract hundreds of researchers from both industry and academia, fostering vibrant discussions on the emerging opportunities and challenges in data-driven healthcare, drug discovery, and biomedical research.
