About this Event
Joëlle Barral considers artificial intelligence “a formidable ally for science.” She is a passionate technologist whose ultimate objective is to build tools that solve fundamental biological problems in order to improve patient outcomes.
Following her time at Stanford as an electrical engineering PhD student, and then, as a Biodesign Innovation Fellow, Joëlle has been on the ground floor of multiple initiatives applying AI within healthcare: from medical imaging to digital pathology to AI-augmented surgical robotics. Now, at Google DeepMind (GDM), she oversees a diverse portfolio of foundational research efforts with teams of engineers and researchers spread across Europe and North America, and leads GDM’s work in healthcare.
On January 26, join us to hear more about Joëlle’s innovation journey: the most impactful learnings, the highs and the lows, the challenges of working in AI, and what excites her most about its transformational potential in healthcare.
