Surgery is hard. From gathering information about the patient’s pathology to identifying the microbes that could infect the surgical site to the simple act of moving lights so surgeons can see clearly, there is a heavy load for medical teams. What if artificial intelligence could help reduce the cognitive load for our healthcare experts and improve outcomes for patients?  


Argonne National Laboratory’s has spent his career pushing the boundaries of technology to battle some of the most aggressive pathogens known to science. Chia is a computational biologist using large language models, machine learning, AI tools, and some of the world’s fastest supercomputers in his quest to revolutionize healthcare. Hosted at the one-of-a-kind , this talk is one you don’t want to miss.
