Inaugural Event
22 January 2021
Our inaugural online event, on 22 January 2021, featured a stellar line-up of speakers drawn from the frontiers of machine learning, science, clinical research, pharmaceutical R&D and the NHS. The webinar, entitled New Horizons for Machine Learning in Medicine, also included several audience Q&A panel sessions and a Student Showcase, an opportunity for several of the brightest stars among the CCAIM faculty’s students to present on their high-profile, published research.
You can pick and choose from the webinar content below, or you can visit our Youtube playlist if you want to run the segments back to back. Enjoy!
