NIH BD2K and Data Science Events Announcements in August, 2016
BD2K Events:
1. On August 25, 2:00pm - 3:00pm CT, MD2K’s webinar series continues with “ResearchStack: Building a Cross-Platform Mobile Research Study in 30 Minutes!” presented by Michael Carroll, CTO of the eConsult startup RubiconMD. Watch the videocast here:

2. The BD2K program announces two training opportunities in Deep Learning (DL):
(1) Overview of Deep Learning in Healthcare, September 8, 3:00pm - 4:30pm ET, Bldg 31, 6C Room 7, NIH Bethesda campus (open to all; no registration required) and via webcast http://videocast.nih.gov. The talk will introduce DL in the broader context of machine learning and discuss critical factors driving the success of DL with examples of how deep learning is advancing healthcare. We will also outline development and deployment workflows for building powerful DL solutions and provide an overview of relevant open source toolkits, companies and products. We will wrap up with a short demo of NVIDIA’s DIGITS training system for rapidly prototyping your own deep learning applications.
(2) Extracting Insights from Healthcare Data with Deep Learning, September 22, 9:00am - 5:00pm ET, Bldg 31, 6C Room 10, NIH Bethesda campus (NIH only; registration required). Registration for this course or information on all upcoming courses. Learn how advanced deep learning techniques are being applied to rich data sets to help solve problems in diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy, calculating ventricular ejection fraction, and predicting survival in a Pediatric ICU. We will cover a variety of frameworks, tools and languages including: DIGITS, Caffe, MXNet, Keras, MATLAB, R, Python and more. The hands-on exercises will help you get started applying deep learning to your own work.
3. SAVE THE DATE: 2016 All Hands Meeting & Science Symposium, November 29 - December 1, 2016 (TBD) Washington, DC Metro Area. Details Forthcoming. For more information, visit: https://datascience.nih.gov/bd2k/AHM. PLEASE NOTE: The All Hands Meeting (November 29-30) will be open to BD2K Grantees and NIH/HHS staff ONLY. The Science Symposium (December 1) will be open to the public.
Data Science Events:
1. FAES (Foundation for the Advanced Education in the Sciences) is pleased to announce BioTech 4: Cellular Immunology: Principles and Methods, a 5-day intensive hands-on training workshop, September 13-16, on the NIH Bethesda campus.
