This full-day bootcamp provides an intensive introduction to artificial intelligence applications in biomedical research. Participants will gain practical experience with modern AI methods and learn how these tools can be applied across research and development workflows.
The program is designed to move beyond basic usage. Attendees will learn how to run and evaluate their own models, understand the underlying principles of AI systems, and begin integrating these approaches into real biomedical research projects. By the end of the session, participants will have a clear pathway for transitioning from basic users of AI tools to advanced practitioners, and potentially developers, capable of building and adapting AI-driven solutions within the biomedical research ecosystem.
Program Information
Date: Friday, August 21
Time: 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM
Location: Ross Hall, Himmelfarb Library - Rooms 102 -103B
Anyone with a valid GW ID can register. You need to be logged into your browser with your GW credentials to access the form.
Attendance at one mandatory Zoom/in-person information session is required for all in-person attendees. Participants must attend either the August 10 session from 11:00 AM-12:00 PM or the August 12 session from 4:00-5:00 PM. Zoom details will be sent two weeks before the session date. Because space is limited, participants who do not attend one of the required sessions may be removed from the in-person program and placed in the online group.
