SciLifeLab / Data-driven life science program

March 11 @ 12:00 – March 12 @ 13:00 CET

Join the Data-driven Epidemiology and Biology of Infection research area (DDLS, Sweden) and the Flemming Initiative (UK) for an inspiring lunch-to-lunch meeting filled with science, networking, and discussions.

Infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria are increasing, leading to millions of deaths and rising societal costs. Eighty years after Alexander Fleming was awarded the Nobel Prize for his discovery of penicillin, we are still confronted with the urgent challenge of diminishing antibiotic effectiveness. This symposium will explore how artificial intelligence and other data-driven approaches can provide new strategies to combat the growing threat of antibiotic resistance.

The DDLS research area symposia series aims to engage and promote the national scientific community around the DDLS research themes. The symposia bring together researchers, industry, and healthcare to stimulate collaboration and push the frontiers of data-driven life science. The events are open for everyone interested in data-driven research to participate.

This event is jointly organized by the Data-Driven Life Science program (DDLS, Sweden), The Fleming Initiative, a partnership between Imperial College London and Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, and is hosted by SciLifeLab and the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation.
