In 2024, the Warren Alpert Foundation awarded a five-year, $5 million grant to the Department of Biomedical Data Science (DBDS) at the Stanford School of Medicine to support the training of 15 graduate scholars in computational biology/artificial intelligence (CBAI). The grant is part of the Warren Alpert Foundation’s aim to increase the number of scholars in CBAI and alleviate the current shortage of highly-trained individuals in this field.  Read the press release to learn more.
