BIOGRAPHY
Each of us generates billions of bits of data captured over a lifetime. Making sense of this data
to predict and prevent disease, personalize our health care and engage us to participate in the
management of our own care will be our future. Building a learning health system using
advanced data analytics that extracts actionable data patterns from our EMRs, gene
sequencers, laboratory information systems, imaging systems, social media and mobile health
systems is the future of precision medicine. Computational pathology provides the precision
diagnostics that is the foundation of precision medicine. The presentation will explain how the
Biotechnology Accelerator Center will facilitate collaboration between physicians , scientists,
innovators and entrepreneurs to accelerate new discoveries and novel ideas that drive
economic growth in the region.
