Let’s Talk Tech: Rewriting the Future of Health With AI and Data Science

Can we take back control of our health through our genetics?

Join us on July 10 at our Paris office for the final meetup before the summer break, where we'll explore this question — and how AI and data science are transforming the healthcare industry, from decoding the genome to revolutionizing patient care.

Whether you're working in data science, life sciences, or simply intrigued by the convergence of tech and healthcare, this event is for you.

Agenda:
6:30 - 7:15PM: Vincent Pascat, Scientist at Genomics | Deciphering the Genome at Scale
Large-scale genomic studies, powered by the advances in high-throughput sequencing and genotyping, generate vast catalogs of common genetic variants that underpin human disease risk. By ingesting these large-scale data in statistical models, we can construct robust risk scores that quantify individual predisposition to complex diseases. These scores, called Polygenic Scores, enable the stratification of individuals into genetically informed clusters for precision medicine, allowing us to tailor treatment based on their genetic profile. Moreover, researchers can use Polygenic Scores to facilitate the discovery of novel therapeutic targets by linking variant associations to functional pathways. Ultimately, this novel data-driven approach transforms genetic research into actionable insights, tailoring treatments and accelerating precision-medicine initiatives.

7:15 - 8PM: Li-heng Fu, Senior Solution Data Scientist at Dataiku | From Patient Data to Solutions
This session traces the evolution of data use in clinical practice, beginning with a look at how clinicians collect and interpret patient data in real time. We explore key historical inflection points — such as the emergence of biostatistics, randomized controlled trials, and meta-analyses — that underpin modern evidence-based medicine. As we enter the era of big data and generative AI, the masterclass examines the shift toward precision medicine and real-time clinical decision support. We close by reflecting on the future: in a healthcare system increasingly shaped by AI, what kind of patient-doctor relationship do we want to preserve?

8 - 10PM: Meet & greet with drinks
