This symposium is the second in an annual series of events presenting the latest results from research in Data Science for Personalized Medicine (DS4PM) at the Center for Medical Statistics, Informatics and Intelligent Systems (CeMSIIS), their partner institutions, and beyond. It aims at addressing clinicians, biologists or other life scientists together with researchers from data science in order to spur relevant future research in Vienna and beyond.
