WiDS promotes gender diversity by making more visible the work from women leaders in the fields of biology, biomedicine, and digital health.

WiDS Barcelona Biomedicine is independently organized by Lauren Fromont, Maia Nahmod, and Paula Petrone to be part of the mission to increase participation of women in data science and to feature outstanding women doing outstanding work.

The event is supported by ISGlobal and the Escola d'Enginyeria UPF. Registration is required.
