Catalyst Lecture

The inaugural Catalyst Lecture will explore the expanding boundaries of what is possible in healthcare through new innovations in medical informatics, data science, engineering, and the integration of artificial intelligence throughout the scientific pipeline. The event will highlight transformative innovations in computation that are reshaping the prevention, identification, or management of disease. Speakers will demonstrate how interdisciplinary research is accelerating the translation of discoveries into solutions that enhance a molecular understanding of disease states, improve patient outcomes and longevity, and enable more personalized approaches to medicine.

The goal of this Catalyst Lecture event is to identify emerging scientific frontiers, foster dialogue across disciplines, catalyze new collaborations, and inspire the next generation of innovations that will shape the future of health.

The lecture will be moderated by Dr. Kiana Aran, New Voices Cohort 2024-2026 member, Associate Professor of Bioengineering and Medicine, Jacobs School of Engineering, University of California San Diego.
