The Buck Institute: The Utility of Data and the Future of AI in Healthcare

Join us for an informative presentation by Dr. James Yurkovich in partnership with the Buck Institute. Dr. Yurkovich’s presentation will explain what data are used in research, why they are important, and how our data are used to make discoveries. He will also explore what the uses of artificial intelligence (AI) are and how it could assist in healthcare and research settings. Registration for this event is required via Eventbrite.
