The GHGA Lecture Series "Advances in Data-Driven Biomedicine" is a monthly virtual event series of scientific talks, presenting the fascinating world of data-driven medicine and their ethical, legal and social implications. We aim also to provide a platform for interactive discussion, so we encourage all participants to actively participate in the Q&A section after the lectures.
Invited guest lecturers are outstanding international researchers from different disciplines across omics data sciences. Selected on excellent academic merit and significant contributions to their respective fields, they actively shape international research agendas.
We invite you to join us monthly on Wednesdays from 16:00 to 17:00 (CET) via Zoom. All lectures are conducted in English and are free and open to everyone. Please register in advance using the individual lecture links below.
Past lectures can be found in our GHGA YouTube Channel.
