Plenary Keynote Introduction:
Life Science Automation Opportunities – So Many Options, So Little Time

Santanu Sen, Vice President, Healthcare & Life Sciences, Virtusa

The Covid pandemic has demonstrated that therapies and vaccines can be developed in 18 months with a high degree of safety and efficacy. Pioneering work done by companies involved has shed light to archaic processes that have been in existence for decades with little need for change. In this presentation, we will discuss collaborative efforts, enabling technologies, regulation, and workflow to automate these processes to advance personalized medicine initiatives.

PLENARY KEYNOTE PRESENTATION:
Federated Futures: How the Largest Federated Learning Effort in Medicine Will Inform Our Next Steps

Spyridon Bakas, PhD, Assistant Professor, Radiology & Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania

Raymond Y. Huang, MD, PhD, Division Chief, Neuroradiology, Brigham and Women’s Hospital; Associate Professor of Radiology, Harvard Medical School

Jason Martin, Principal Engineer AI Research Science, Security Solutions Lab, Intel Labs

Is a federated learning model sufficient to handle data from 71 institutions and more than 6,000 patients located on six continents? Researchers from Penn Medicine and Intel Labs say yes. An interdisciplinary team created the largest to-date global federated learning effort to develop an accurate and generalizable machine learning model for detecting glioblastoma borders. We will share what we learned about creating and maintaining such a federation, how the software infrastructure evolved over the course of the study, and how this work will empower the future of high-quality, precision clinical care worldwide.
