Certified NLP in Life Sciences Professional (CNLPLSP) Certification Program by Tonex
This intensive 2-day certification program empowers professionals to harness the power of Natural Language Processing (NLP) in life sciences. Participants explore how advanced NLP techniques accelerate drug discovery, clinical research, and regulatory processes.
Key focus areas include mining biomedical literature, detecting adverse events, and building intelligent systems for knowledge management and pharmacovigilance. The program dives into real-world applications such as named entity recognition for biomedical terms, knowledge graph creation for drug repositioning, and generative AI for document drafting (e.g., IND, NDA).
Cybersecurity plays a pivotal role in safeguarding the integrity and privacy of biomedical NLP applications. Topics address how to secure AI pipelines, prevent data leakage from clinical datasets, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards. This makes the program equally valuable for cybersecurity professionals in healthcare and life sciences settings.
