Generative AI Workshop

This workshop provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of generative models, their applications, and the practical skills necessary to create and utilize generative AI systems effectively. Learn how GenAI can help advance your research and improve lab processes (e.g, automate complex tasks and discover valuable insights).

Panel Discussion: Insights from Public Health

During this panel discussion, we will explore the impact that initiatives such as the COVID-19 and Influenza Scenario Modeling Hubs and related efforts had and are having on shaping public health response. This session will feature panelists from CDC, ACIP, public health departments, and hospital networks.
