Webinar: Introduction to NLP for Life Sciences
When: Wednesday 25th March 2020
Time: 4:00pm BST; 5:00pm CEST; 12:00pm EDT; 9:00am PDT.
Duration: 40 minutes.
In the Life Science industry, researchers and clinicians need to base decisions on the best possible view of data. As 80% of data resides in unstructured sources, rapid effective access to the knowledge buried in text documents is essential. This webinar demonstrates how NLP and advanced text analytics provide a powerful solution to these challenges. Use cases span from drug discovery, development and safety, through to post-market surveillance and healthcare delivery.
What you will learn:
During the webinar we will review how NLP can reduce manual effort and provide support across multiple areas in life science including:
- Gene-disease associations
- Drug safety
- Patent analytics
- Clinical trial analytics
- Real world data
- Precision medicine
Who should attend?
This webinar demonstrates some uses of NLP across a variety of data sources, and will be of interest to anyone who wants to understand more about the power of NLP to gain more value from unstructured text:
- Informaticians, Information Professionals, Researchers, Managers
- Pharma, Biotech and related industries
Responsible for:
- Target ID/Validation
- Biomarker discovery and precision medicine
- Clinical trial analytics
