BayBIFX & BACE Event on AI in Healthcare & Genetics

AI, generative AI, and Machine Learning, are becoming more commonly used across healthcare and biotech, from literature mining applications, through advisory chatbots, to drug discovery, and (multi)omics. During this collaborative event, co-organized by Bay Area Bioinformatics and BACE, we will explore the avenues that these groundbreaking technologies open. Please join us and our amazing speakers to learn and discuss, while enjoying good pizza and great company.
