Challenges in biomedical data science: data-driven solutions to clinical questions

Data are influencing every aspect of our lives, from our work activities, to our spare time and even to our health. In this regard, medical diagnosis and treatments are often supported by quantitative measures and observations, such as laboratory tests, medical imaging or genetic analysis. In medicine, as well as in several other scientific domains, the amount of data involved in each decision-making process has become overwhelming. The complexity of the phenomena under investigation and the scale of modern data collections has long superseded human analysis and insights potential.
