Previously co-organized by the Department of Biostatistics at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and the Department of Biomedical Informatics at Harvard Medical School, the Biostatistics - Biomedical Informatics - Big Data (B3D) Seminar was a series of research talks on statistical, computational, and machine learning methods for analyzing large complex data sets, with a focus on applications in biomedical science and public health, including:

  • Genetics and genomics
  • Epidemiological and environmental health science
  • Comparative effective research
  • Electronic medical records
  • Digital health
  • Neuroscience
  • Social networks

The goal of the seminar was to provide a forum for brainstorming and exchanging ideas, and promoting interdisciplinary collaboration among researchers from a variety of disciplines such as biostatistics/statistics, biomedical informatics, computer science, computational biology, biomedicine, public health, social sciences, and other related areas. The seminar featured local, national, and international speakers who are leaders in their field.
