Hello Women in Imaging community!

Hope you are all well.  I'm happy to announce that we have another follow-up industry event for Ph.D students in imaging at Berkeley.  I am currently interning at Insitro as part of the Advanced Imaging Modalities team, and am excited to host the Women in Imaging community for an office/lab tour!  I really think you will be inspired by the scale of the imaging efforts and the people working here.  Hope you can join!  

Event details:

Insitro is a drug discovery startup that utilizes machine learning and wet lab biology to accelerate preclinical drug development for hard to treat diseases.  It is a fast-growing (230+ employees) South San Francisco biotech company founded by Stanford machine learning professor Daphne Koller.  Imaging is a core part of insitro's technology platform and acts as the bridge between the wet lab (bio, chem)  and dry labs (DS/ML) at the company.  

Date/Time: Tuesday August 1st, 2023 from 10 am - 2 pm (please plan to attend the entire time).  Lunch will be served. 

Location: insitro office - 279 E. Grand Ave, South San Francisco, CA

Participants: Ph.D students and post-docs in imaging related fields (microscopy, medical imaging, computer vision, etc) across all departments (MCB, EECS, Physics, etc). Students of all genders & gender-identities are welcome. 

Transportation:  We are working on obtaining funds to pay for Ubers to/from insitro or will use BART/carpool to the location. 

Sign up: Please RSVP via this Google form by Mon July 17 if you are interested in attending! We have limited space (20 participants max) so sign up early!  

Hope to see you all there!

Best,

Neerja
