August 21-23, 2019

MetrumRG scientists visited Harvard University to participate in the R/Pharma conference.

This was the second annual R/Pharma conference, which included keynotes from renowned industry practitioners, key R developers, and leading academics. There were also several full-length presentations as well as a number of shorter, highly-energetic lightning talks. And new this year, pre-conference workshops were offered to the 150 attendees. MetrumRG was honored to deliver three presentations and to support the event again this year by hosting a mixer on Thursday night. Congratulations to the organizing committee for another successful R/Pharma!

Here is a recap of our MetrumRG presentations:

On Thursday, August 22:

Devin Pastoor, Ph.D., gave a presentation on the topic of package management entitled "Solving the Package Management Puzzle". View the slides from his talk here
