Dr. Pollard will share her experience at the cutting edge of scientific research, as founder and faculty supervisor of the Gladstone Bioinformatics Core and an associate professor at the Institute for Human Genetics at the University of California, San Francisco. Pollard’s lab is known for developing statistical and computational methods that enable the analysis and study of massive genomic datasets. With her research focusing on genome evolution and the relationship between DNA sequences and biomedical traits, Pollard’s work has important implications for how science identifies and treats a wide range of diseases, from AIDS to atherosclerosis.
Together, Tecco, Douglas, Kaplan and Pollard will talk about how they are building their own businesses, what they’ve learned and how they plan to leverage the changes in technology to build a healthier world.

The conference starts September 7th and runs until the 11th at our favorite location, the San Francisco Design Concourse. Stay tuned for more speaker announcements and a few surprises to be announced soon.
