Data Science
Our goal is to transform discovery, education, and health care through data science
Strategies
- Launch a Health and Biomedical Data Science Center to drive research and teaching in biomedical data science and informatics across Emory and our partners
Year 1 Tactics
- Appoint leadership and steering committee to coordinate and facilitate data sciences activities across Emory and our partners
- Implement a plan to create the Health and Biomedical Data Science Center
Data Science is a critical enabler of success in all our strategic plan themes. By working together in collaboration with our partners, we can accelerate the impact of health and biomedical data science.
