No where else in the world can you find the range of disciplines in one school. Over the last 50 years as we forged new programs, built our home in New York and expanded to our global academic centers, institutes emerged. Each are built with shared values, common goals, and a priority for putting students first. The result – a place where artists and scholars create the future.
Paul May is an ITP alumnus, and now leads MSK Data Products; the internal data science and product development studio at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center; the number 1 cancer hospital in the US.
In this talk, Paul will outline some of the ways that machine learning and other forms of data science, as well as design, and software engineering are being used in cancer research and treatment. He’ll describe the challenges that a hospital like Sloan Kettering faces when trying to build easy-to-use web applications, and he’ll describe how the role of technology and cancer research/healthcare is likely to change over the next 3-5 years. This talk is relevant to anybody interested in machine learning/data-science, user experience design, healthcare or science.
