Together, they develop strategic initiatives and build a vibrant community of members advancing data-driven laboratory medicine. DSI evolved from the former Informatics Division, which has served ADLM members for over 40 years. The Data Analytics Steering Committee was established as part of ADLM’s strategic plan to accelerate data science initiatives through a dedicated leadership body working alongside the member community.
DASC is ADLM’s strategic engine for data science initiatives. This cross-functional committee of industry experts, academic leaders, and ADLM staff sets the vision, develops programming, and creates resources that position ADLM at the forefront of laboratory data science.
