BizSkule California Event: Deep Genomics

 

Date: 6/23/2016
Time: 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM

Join us on June 23 for our latest California BizSkule event: Deep Genomics: Using Machine Learning to Enable Genomic Medicine with professor Brendan Frey.

Deep learning will transform medicine, but not in the way that many advocates think. Biological complexity, rare mutations and confounding factors work against us, so that even if we sequence 100,000 genomes, it won't be enough. Professor Frey will present the "genotype-phenotype gap" and how the value of closing this gap exceeds Google's $200B ad market. Using machine learning systems that properly incorporate biological knowledge, professor Frey will describe this approach, how it has improved our ability to “read the genome”, and could be an indispensable component in the future of medicine.

Gain insights from one of U of T’s leading professors on the future of machine learning and healthcare, as well as a chance to network with fellow U of T grads over cocktails and canapés.
