DESCRIPTION:  Prof. Sarah Teichmann\nTitle: (Machine) Learnings from the 
 Human Cell Atlas\n\nAbstract: The 37 trillion cells of the human body have
  a remarkable array of specialised functions\, and must cooperate and coll
 aborate in time and space to construct a functioning human. Harnessing cut
 ting edge single cell genomics\, my lab has been attempting to understand 
 this cellular diversity\, how it is generated during development and how i
 t goes wrong in disease. My talk will explore the importance of computatio
 nal methods (including machine learning and artificial intelligence) in ou
 r work. This highlights how an exciting synergy between ‘wet’ and ‘d
 ry’ science is driving new discoveries in the cellular composition and t
 issue microenvironments of the human body.\n\nBio:\nDr Sarah Teichmann is 
 a systems and genome biologist who heads the Cellular Genetics programme a
 t the Wellcome Sanger Institute and is Director of Research at the Cavendi
 sh Lab/Dept Physics at the University of Cambridge. Sarah’s lab develops
  and applies cell atlas technologies to decipher human tissue architecture
 . She is particularly interested in how cellular diversity is generated in
  the immune system and through development. Sarah is co-founder and co-lea
 der of the international Human Cell Atlas consortium\, which aims to creat
 e reference maps for cells across all human tissues and has grown to inclu
 de over two thousand members across the world. Sarah’s work has been rec
 ognised by numerous awards\, including the EMBO Gold Medal\, Genetics Soci
 ety Mary Lyons Award and Biochemical Society GlaxoSmithKline Award among o
 thers. She is an EMBO Member\, ISCB Fellow\, and Fellow of the Academy of 
 Medical Sciences and Royal Society.\n\nThe Center for Intelligent Systems 
 at EPFL (CIS) is a collaboration among IC\, ENAC\, SB\; SV and STI that br
 ings together researchers working on different aspects of Intelligent Syst
 ems. In June 2020\, CIS has launched its CIS Colloquia featuring invited n
 otable speakers.\nMore info\n
