IDWSDS 2025 - S103: From the Dental Chair to the Data Cloud: Thriving in an Interdisciplinary Enviro

From the Dental Chair to the Data Cloud: Thriving in an Interdisciplinary Environment In the context of a professional trajectory bridging the clinical rigor of dentistry with the quantitative precision of data science, thriving transcends mere success; it represents a state of sustained professional vitality and flourishing. This state is fundamentally rooted in the ability to effectively leverage domain-specific expertise to navigate and contribute within an inherently interdisciplinary ecosystem. The session will define thriving as the process of operationalizing clinical heuristics into data-driven hypotheses. It is about a continuous, iterative cycle of learning and adaptability, whereby foundational skills in biostatistics and computational methods are integrated with nuanced insights from patient care and public health. This involves mastering the end-to-end data lifecycle, from data acquisition in Electronic Health Records (EHRs) to the deployment of predictive models and the application of Natural Language Processing (NLP) for unstructured clinical notes. The session will illustrate that thriving is the conscious act of transforming a unique background from a perceived vulnerability into a strategic asset, ultimately driving innovative, evidence-based solutions for complex oral and systemic health challenges. This is not simply about professional survival, but about leading the future of interdisciplinary collaboration. ORGANIZER AND CHAIR AND SPEAKER: Nisha Daniel, University of Edinburgh, Scotland, UK
