6th Meeting of the 202nd Session (2022-2023)
Dr Sarah Lynagh
On Monday 27th March 2023, at 7pm
We live in a very data thirsty era with data being collected and processed about us every minute of every day data from number of steps, consumed macros, spending habits to our international movements. With such ability to generate data there has never been more of a need for robust, consistent and secure ways which this data must be stored, processed & utilised. Using human genetic data as an example, this lecture will talk through the journey of discovery from DNA structure to personalised medicine and the challenges that exist within.
