NCI DataViz + Cancer Microlabs

National Cancer Institute

 

Explore the intersection of data visualization and cancer

Data are only as useful as the insights we can glean from them. How might recent advances in interactive media and data visualization help illuminate and solve pertinent challenges in cancer research? Join us in a series of virtual events to explore these questions and spark new collaborations between experts in cancer research, data visualization, user-experience, virtual/augmented reality, and game design/development. 

 

DATAVIZ+CANCER

 

There will be a series of four Micro Labs followed by a virtual poster session and 2-day Expo. Each Micro Lab starts with an inspiring conversation between thought leaders from the Cancer Moonshot and creative visualization experts followed by an opportunity to engage new colleagues from other fields in a fascinating discussion on the frontiers of cancer data visualization
