Durante l'estate del 2014, un'epidemia di Ebola in Africa occidentale assume proporzioni disastrose. A migliaia di chilometri di distanza dal focolaio, un team di scienziati provenienti da tre università americane (Fred Hutchinson di Seattle, Università della Florida e Northeastern University di Boston) e due centri di ricerca italiani (Fondazione ISI di Torino e Fondazione Bruno Kessler di Trento) si mette al lavoro per contribuire alla lotta internazionale contro l'epidemia.

Qual è il rapporto tra Big Data, innovazione, ricerca e salute? Quali nuovi orizzonti la scienza dei dati sta aprendo nel settore della epidemiologia? Quali sono le sfide, gli ostacoli, le incognite e i possibili rivoluzionari traguardi?

The work, led by ISI Research Leader Prof. Yamir Moreno together with researchers from the University of Zaragoza and the St. Justine Hospital in Montreal, Canada, presents a new model for the spreading of tuberculosis that helps to understand the effects of population aging and contact patterns in the transmission dynamics of Tuberculosis.

The ISI Foundation is looking for exceptional candidates for joining the Algorithmic Data Analytics research team lead by Dr. Francesco Bonchi. The appointed researcher will undertake fundamental research activities related to the development of methods and algorithms for data science. Talented and highly motivated postdoctoral researchers, as well as  more senior researchers with internationally-recognized achievements, will be considered.

Data science is not a male-only research field. A clear and prestigious evidence comes from the Global Women in Data Science conference hosted every year at Stanford University and in over 100 additional locations worldwide.

The Computational and Digital Epidemiology Research Group of the ISI Foundation is looking for an experienced C++ developer with computer graphics know-how. The main development activity will be related to the the multi-platform client application that is part of the GLEAMviz Simulator project.

«Un nuovo luddismo contro l'intelligenza artificiale? No, se impariamo a usare bene l'intelligenza umana». A Roma un convegno sull'impatto sociale e occupazionale della rivoluzione digitale e dell'AI, con lectio di Mario Rasetti.

Pathogens do not spread in isolation and disease outbreaks are the result of complex ecological processes where different infectious agents compete or cooperate, undergo mutations and cross the species barriers, spreading through a variety of host populations.

L’impatto sociale e occupazionale della rivoluzione in corso

The idea of viral marketing is simple yet appealing: by targeting the most influential users in a online social network, one can exploit the power of the network effect through word-of-mouth, thus delivering the marketing message to a large portion of network. In some way, it's something similar to the spread of a virus.
