As an educational leader, he has helped craft online open courses in data science that have enrolled millions of people.
Leek’s lecture was titled “Building the Fred Hutch Data Science Lab in the Era of AI.”
In his presentation, he discussed the efforts to build the Fred Hutch Data Science Lab to support a healthy data ecosystem for the whole institution. He talked about how data resources, training, statistical software, infrastructure, support, and community are being built to support data-intensive science.
