June 2019: Prof lambin co-organized a workshop in CERN on big data in medicine (link more info: On 6-7 June, CERN hosted a first-of-its-kind workshop on big data in medicine. The event marked the conclusion of a two-year pilot investigation into how CERN-developed technologies and techniques related to computing and big data could potentially be used to address challenges faced in biomedicine. The main goal of the workshop was to establish the terms for broader collaboration with the medical and healthcare research communities in future. CERN and the high-energy physics community have pioneered the use of large-scale, distributed, data-driven research models. Over recent years, other scientific fields have begun to collect and process ever more data, meaning that they now face similar challenges in terms of data infrastructures, computing technologies, and software applications.
