Data Science in Healthcare
The University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), today announced a collaboration with Janssen Research & Development, LLC, part of the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson (Janssen), to launch a new data science fellowship program that will explore innovative data-driven approaches to improve human health and train the next generation of leaders in the healthcare data sciences. This program will be the first of its kind in the San Francisco Bay Area, which already serves as a worldwide hub for the tech and biotech industries. The collaboration was facilitated by Johnson & Johnson Innovation.
The new Data Science Health Innovation Fellowship Program will be run by the Berkeley Institute for Data Science (BIDS) at UC Berkeley and the Bakar Computational Health Sciences Institute (BCHSI) at UCSF, with support from Janssen. Mentors from all three institutions will provide guidance in developing and implementing research projects.
