August 12, 2025: Dr. Zafar Chaudry, SVP, CDIO, and AI Officer, speaks with Dr. Vittorio Gallo, Chief Scientific Officer at Seattle Children's Research Institute, about the transformation happening in pediatric research. As healthcare shifts from traditional lab work to data-driven science, how are research institutions keeping pace with the explosion of information they're generating? Vittorio discusses breakthrough therapies currently in development, including the first clinical trial for cell immunotherapy in pediatric lupus and innovative approaches to treating neonatal brain injuries. But with massive datasets requiring decades of storage and AI models now identifying developmental disorders through behavioral analysis, what does this mean for the relationship between technology teams and researchers?
