The First International Conference on Network Medicine and Big Data was held in Rome, Italy, on September 24–26, 2018. Cosponsored by the Sapienza University of Rome and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, the conference was designed to bring together individuals from many different disciplines to explore novel network science and big data approaches to understanding mechanisms and treatments of complex disease. The fields of network science, physics, applied mathematics and statistics, computer science, biology, and medicine were well represented in this closed meeting among the 120 participants from 24 different institutions and 8 different countries. The ultimate goal of the meeting was to design a strategy by which this interdisciplinary field can truly transform medicine.
