<p class="MsoNormal">Dr. Kathy Copic will describe the health data
science landscape, and will give advice for those interested in
transitioning to industry. Scientists and engineers with
research experience in computational biology, bioinformatics,
genomics, physics, math, engineering, and other quantitative
fields are playing key roles in transforming the way companies
and nonprofits work with data to impact our daily lives. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There is an unprecedented amount of data
across the health and life sciences sector. This information is
a form of “big data” not only for the sheer size but also its
complexity, diversity, and time-dependence. Health data
scientists analyze this data to find more effective treatments
for a given disease, increase quality of life using personalized
lifestyle recommendations, discover new types of cancer
treatments, provide realtime health information to doctors or
families, and link environmental factors to disease and
corresponding treatment options. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Kathy Copic
earned her Ph.D. in Physics at the University of Michigan, did
a post-doc at Columbia, and was a Staff Scientist at Berkeley
National Lab. Now Director for New Initiatives and Growth at
Insight Data Science, Kathy helps scientists transition from
academia into new careers in industry. She will</span> share
her experience with the Insight Health Data Science Fellowship
Program, which provides an intensive seven-week postdoctoral
training fellowship designed to bridge the gap between academia
and a career in industry. Data Scientists from the Broad
Institute, Optum Labs, Novartis, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer
Center, and Biogen Idec will be working with Fellows in Boston
and hiring from the program. Learn more about the first Health
Data Science session in Boston at: <a
