This exciting event convenes faculty, staff, students, and industry partners to enable discovery through leading-edge scientific and computational projects that extract hidden knowledge and generate fresh insights from large and complex datasets. At IDSC Day, you can meet our core faculty members and IDSC Fellows, and discuss their projects, studies, and research interests. There will be demos, posters, and presentations from grant recipients who will discuss how IDSC support has made them more competitive for Federal funding. Toward the end of the day, we will host a relaxed social event, providing opportunities for conversations, learning, and networking. In a work-from-anywhere world, we recognize the important of the traditional office “water cooler” conversations.

Closing Keynote Speaker | Eduardo “Eddy” Vadia, MD ’06
Dr. Eduardo Vadia graduated from the University of Miami School of Medicine in 2006. He completed his Internal Residency Residency, Chief Medical Residency, and Pulmonary and Critical Care Fellowship at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, TX.
