Melissa Goldstein Invited to Attend Susan G. Komen Big Data for Breast Cancer West Coast Conference

Associate Professor Melissa Goldstein was invited to attend Big Data for Breast Cancer West Coast Conference (BD4BC\WC), a convening of experts around big data for breast cancer that was held Feb. 23-Feb. 24, 2017 in Menlo Park, California. The meeting was hosted by the Susan G. Komen organization, with support from the Robertson Foundation. The goal of the meeting was to better understand current capabilities of big data applications and to encourage the development of multidisciplinary collaborations that will work together to demonstrate the feasibility of applying big data technology to several breast-cancer-focused use cases, including development of evidence-based decision support to improve breast cancer treatment, quality improvement of health care delivery and basic discovery to drive research.
