On July 23rd, 2026, nearly one-hundred Rhode Island data scientists, healthcare professionals, students, and community members gathered at The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University to explore real-world AI solutions for Rhode Island’s health challenges.

Along with many others in Rhode Island’s research community, we were profoundly saddened to learn of the sudden passing of James F. Padbury, MD, who among his numerous roles, served as the inaugural principal investigator of Advance RI-CTR.

BRIDGE, Advance RI-CTR, and Prov/Bos CFAR collaborate to host this inaugural half-day networking retreat for researchers.

This series features outstanding science from expert investigators alternating with Advance RI-CTR Pilot Project awardees sharing their early research. Seminars are held virtually on the second Thursday of each month.

Dr. Angela Slitt delivered a fascinating talk on PFAS for the Advance RI-CTR Clinical and Translational Research Seminar Series, hosted by Dr. Sharon Rounds.

Presented by the Rhode Island COBRE, CTR, ECHO, and INBRE programs, the symposium will explore “AI in Research - Promises and Perils,” through two keynotes, a panel discussion, lightning talks, concurrent breakout sessions, and a poster presentation. The Symposium will conclude with a networking hour.
