Overview:
Nowadays, statisticians and health data scientists actively work together on the frontier of biological, medical, and public health research. The transdisciplinary collaboration not only develops the modern foundations of Health Data Science but also accelerates the pace of scientific discovery and innovation. The 2nd CANSSI-NISS Health Data Science Workshop will be held on August 3-4, 2023 at the University of Waterloo in Waterloo, Canada. This workshop brings statisticians and health data scientists from the U.S. and Canada together to explore current approaches and new challenges for learning Big Data in Health Data Science. The two-day workshop consists of two keynote presentations, three invited sessions, a poster competition for students and new researchers, and a banquet/dinner on Day 1. There will also be two parallel short courses held in the afternoon before the workshop. Full event details of the workshop and short courses can be found on the NISS website.
