THE FUTURE IS HERE

How Artificial Intelligence will make Basic Research Self-Sustainable | Sarah Jenna | TEDxConcordia

Sarah Jenna Ph.D. is a Professor in Genomics at the University of Quebec in Montreal and CEO and co-Founder of My Intelligent Machines, a company developing an artificial intelligence-powered platform to help life-scientists find, share and analyse their omic data. Sarah Jenna is a Professor in Genomics at the University of Quebec in Montreal (UQAM) and CEO and co-Founder of My Intelligent Machines (MIMs; www.mims.ai), a company developing artificial Intelligence-powered platform to help life-scientists find, share and analyse their omic (genomic, proteomic, metabolomic…) data. She received her Ph.D. degree in cell biology and microbiology in 1998 from the University Aix-Marseille in France. She was a post-doctoral fellow at McGill University in cell signaling, genomics and proteomics. The research program she carries out in her laboratory (http://jennasarah.wixsite.com/jennaslab), develops novel integrative genomic strategies to better understand functional interactions between genes and the plasticity of signaling programs controlling epithelial morphogenesis in nematodes and humans. She is one of the rare woman scientists with a university position becoming CEO of a high-technology company. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
