After the dazzling innovation on display at our inaugural Data Science Showcase —AI-powered tools with the accumulated medical knowledge of humankind , for example—you might think we'd have a hard time topping it just one year later. But our recent Data Science and Intelligent Automation Showcases did exactly that. Hosted by Najat Khan and Pallaw Sharma (co-chairs of our Data Science Council) together with Ajay Anand and Steven Sorensen (co-chairs of our Intelligent Automation Council), the three-day all-virtual event proved to be no less dynamic, vibrant or awe-inspiring than its in-person predecessor.
Kizzy Vassall, Head of HR, Enterprise Data Science at Johnson & Johnson, is bringing to life our diversity, equity and inclusion agenda today. To see how she’s doing it, follow her surprising journey to our company—and find out how you can join her, too.
From models that predict disease progression in oncology to breakthroughs in neuroscience, immunology and clinical operations, discover how this data scientist is taking on complex healthcare challenges with the potential to positively impact the lives of patients around the globe.
Five years after finishing grad school, Kristopher Standish, Ph.D., is applying his unique skill set to improve the lives of patients everywhere. This is his story.
The all-virtual Women in Data Science Summit drew more than 800 participants, including colleagues from Johnson & Johnson along with leaders from Amazon, Google, IBM and more. After two days of deeply meaningful dialogue about inclusion in STEM, what did we find out?
"How can we advance our therapies, advance our innovation and get medicines to patients faster?" That's the question for Jim Swanson, Executive Vice President, Chief Information Officer—and data science is integral to how he's answering it. Find out why the senior leader is so deeply invested in building out our data science capabilities and how you can join him on the front lines of health today.
Particle physicist Jorge Chaves, Ph.D., spent nearly a decade in research settings—Cornell, UPenn, then the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland—before joining our team, and while it might seem like a quantum leap to go from particles to people, his insights suggest it's anything but.
700 data scientists. 35 countries. 2,000-plus solutions proposed. Our inaugural Data Science Hackathon only lasted seven days, but it was the stage for seemingly unlimited breakthroughs.
