At RE•WORK, we are strong advocates for supporting women working towards advancing technology, so ahead of the upcoming AI in Healthcare Summit, we set out to highlight inspirational women within the US healthcare and pharma sectors who are working at the forefront of AI developments, and who deserve recognition for their achievements. While we set out to create a list of just 20 – we couldn't narrow it down, as there are so many inspiring and prominent females in this space! Hear from many of them at our AI in Healthcare Summit, and more outside the healthcare space at our Women in AI Reception, both being held in Boston next month. Help us to continue highlighting leading women in AI by nominating your influential woman for our next edition. RE•WORK holds Women in AI events, podcasts, and blogs.

Artificial Intelligence is quickly becoming one of the key factors in advancements in the healthcare industry. Ahead of the RE•WORK – AI in Healthcare Summit Boston, we asked Nathan Wang – Deep Learning/Medical Imaging Researcher at Johns Hopkins University his thoughts on the topic. Here's what he had to say: What do you think is the most important advancement for AI in healthcare? In recent years, the field has made great strides in model interpretability. As a researcher, being able to intuitively grasp the "reasoning" behind our AI helps us build more robust and accurate models.

We decide on our careers long before we ever step foot in our workplace. We take cues from our family and dramatized media depictions of professionals who often look and act nothing like their real-life counterparts. Therefore, to solve the gender inequality in technical roles, we need to kickstart our efforts in college or even high school – when students are open-minded, and there is still time to make real change. Because later in life, for every dollar men earn – women earn 81 cents. One woman trailblazing change is Professor Daniela Rus, the first woman director of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Computer Science Artificial Intelligence Lab, or MIT CSAIL for short.

RE•WORK's fifth global Machine Intelligence Summit kicked off today in Hong Kong, hosted alongside the AI in Healthcare Summit, which saw a mix of researchers, industry experts and startups explore the latest machine learning, AI tools and techniques. With two tracks, a full day of presentations, workshops, networking and a VC session, there was plenty to capture everyone's attention. Leading minds from NASA, eBay, and HSBC lead the way on topics such as deep learning for eCommerce and using GANs in algorithmic trading. The morning began with attendees grabbing breakfast and sitting down to listen to the Deputy Government CIO at The Government of the HKSAR speak on how they are using big data and AI to develop Hong Kong as a smart city. Their main goal is to use AI to make more informed decisions which will improve both the quality of public services and the quality of life of Hong Kong's citizens.

Baltimore, MD - Alex Zhavoronkov, PhD, CEO of Insilico Medicine will present a range of deep learned biomarkers of ageing and deep learned predictors of biological age at the RE-WORK Deep Learning in Healthcare Summit in London, 7-8th of April. The first such predictor is already available online at http://www.Aging.AI trained on hundreds of thousands of human biochemistry and cell count samples linked to chronological age, gender and health status. Transcriptomic and signalomic ageing markers and predictors of chronological and biological age and cross-species comparison will be discussed. "RE-WORK summits are clearly outperforming most industry conferences in agility, openness, diversity and focus on applications of deep learning in multiple areas and we are happy to be invited to present at their Deep Learning in Healthcare Summit in London. Artificial intelligence will transform biomarker development and drug discovery much sooner than most pharmaceutical companies and regulators expect and we are happy to be at the forefront of this emerging trend", said Alex Zhavoronkov, PhD, CEO or Insilico Medicine, Inc.
