Modelfest 2015 - POSTPONED TO LATER DATE

UPDATE 1/26/14: Due to the impending storm in New England, Modelfest 2015 has been postponed. A new date will be announced later.

Novel analytical tools to interpret large and complex data sets are reshaping the foundations of several fields of science, and, simultaneously, many commercial enterprises. Shared statistical and computational concepts underlie this trend. Cross-fertilization between data-intensive scientific fields and data-intensive industries could yield powerful discoveries. With this in mind, the Dana Farber Cancer Institute and partners in the financial and internet industries are organizing a “Modelfest” to discuss how to harness the rich set of algorithms and infrastructures available to accelerate progress in precision cancer medicine. The event will include short TED-talk like presentations from the scientific and corporate worlds, panel discussions, and an opportunity for networking. Participation from graduate and undergraduate students is especially welcome.

Attendees are encouraged to use public transportation.
