Institute for Data Engineering and ScienceThe Precision Medicine day-long retreat took place on March 2 at the Georgia Tech TSRB building. The retreat, organized and facilitated by Deirdre Shoemaker, was the first step toward establishing strong connections between Emory University and Georgia Tech at the intersection of data science and precision medicine. The retreat was hosted by Srinivas Aluru, the co-executive director of IDEaS at Georgia Tech, and Lance Waller, the chair of the department of biostatistics and bioinformatics at Emory University.
The morning involved hearing about the opportunities and challenges related to precision medicine and data science from Georgia Tech’s and Emory’s points of view, with Srinivas Aluru, Krish Roy, Jon Duke, Greg Gibson, and May Wang delivering for Georgia Tech and Lance Waller, Mike Zwick (presented by Lance Waller), Vicki Hertzberg and Arshed Quyyumi delivering for Emory. The afternoon was devoted to break-out sessions to identify critical needs and paths forward. Several action items were identified.
