Federated learning for neurodegenerative diseases: HEREDITARY collaborates in joint EU webinar

On Friday, 16^th May, HEREDITARY will participate in a joint webinar alongside two other leading EU-funded initiatives — LETHE and BRAINTEASER — to explore how federated learning is shaping the future of neurodegenerative disease research.

The online event, titled “Federated Learning for Neurodegenerative Disease Research: A New Path to Risk Reduction and Better Care“, will take place from 10:30 to 11:30 CEST. It offers a unique opportunity to learn how cutting-edge machine learning approaches are being applied across collaborative European research efforts, enabling a secure, privacy-preserving data collaboration to improve risk prediction, diagnosis, and patient care in neurodegenerative diseases.

It will begin providing the audience with an introduction to federated learning and then dive into examples of how federated learning is being used in the three projects. There will be a chance at the end of the webinar for the audience to participate and ask our panellists questions.

Hereditary’s participation in the webinar

HEREDITARY will take center stage through a presentation by Umberto Manera, from Università degli Studi di Torino, a researcher partner for both HEREDITARY and BRAINTEASER, who will discuss how federated learning techniques in HEREDITARY can advance AI model developed by BRAINTEASER Project in clinical settings.
