Brief Bio
Jason Moore is the Edward Rose Professor of Informatics and Director of the Penn Institute for Biomedical Informatics. He also serves as Senior Associate Dean for Informatics and Director of the Division of Informatics in the Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology. He came to Penn in 2015 from Dartmouth where was Director of the Institute for Quantitative Biomedical Sciences. Prior to Dartmouth he served as Director of the Advanced Computing Center for Research and Education at Vanderbilt University. He has a Ph.D. in Human Genetics and an M.S. in Applied Statistics from the University of Michigan. He leads an active NIH-funded research program focused on the development of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms for the analysis of complex biomedical data with a focus on genetics and genomics. He is an elected fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), an elected fellow of the American College of Medical Informatics (ACMI), and was selected as a Kavli fellow of the National Academy of Sciences.

Brief Bio
Carly A. Bobak is a current PhD. Candidate in the Quantitative Biomedical Sciences program at Dartmouth College and has an MSc. in Applied Mathematics from the University of Guelph. She is co-mentored by Dr. Jane E Hill (Professor of Engineering) and Dr. A. James O’Malley (Professor of Biostatistics). Carly emphasizes and advocates for the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration to increase the quality of research. She is currently investigating improved computational methods for the discovery of diagnostic biomarkers for Tuberculosis. Other researchers included in this effort have expertise in analytical chemistry, biostatistics, microbiology, computer science, engineering, and of course, infectious disease clinicians. Carly is a current fellow in of the Institutional Program Unifying Population and Laboratory Based Sciences award from the Burroughs Wellcome Fund and is also a Quantitative Biomedical Sciences fellow at Dartmouth College.

Brief Bio
Kristine A. Giffin, PhD is currently a Lecturer in the Biomedical Data Science department and has been the Curriculum Director for the Quantitative Biomedical Sciences (QBS) Program at Dartmouth College since the founding of the program in 2011. The QBS PhD program encourages interdisciplinary research and cross-trains students in biostatistics, epidemiology, and bioinformatics. Recently, she has aided in the design and implementation of a QBS Health Data Science Master’s program and a QBS Quantitative Epidemiology Master’s program, which both accepted their inaugural class in the Fall of 2018. In addition to directing a number of QBS courses, she is active in program expansion, student and faculty relations, recruitment, and admissions. Kristine received her Ph.D. in Genetics at Dartmouth College through the Molecular & Cellular Biology program and her BS in Biology from Boston College. Her thesis work investigated approaches to ease the computational burden of detecting epistasis, or gene-gene interactions, in genome-wide genetic studies.

Brief Bio
Marek Svoboda is a current MD, PhD candidate at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth. He is mentored by Dr. Giovanni Bosco as a graduate student in the Quantitative Biomedical Sciences program. After growing up in Czechia, he received his B.A. in Neuroscience and Behavior from Columbia University. He is interested in interdisciplinary approaches that combine molecular biology and computational analysis for the benefit of new translatable approaches in clinical treatment. In his current project, he studies gene interactions in a mouse model of autism using single cell RNA sequencing in order to identify novel therapeutic targets. Like Carly, Marek is also a fellow in of the Institutional Program Unifying Population and Laboratory Based Sciences award from the Burroughs Wellcome Fund.

SCOPE
Artificial intelligence (AI) approaches are a major component in healthcare across disease prediction, patient outcomes, image interpretation, and triaging capabilities. It is critical that clinicians become integral to the algorithmic development and clinical applications of this methodology. We are seeking speakers who are clinicians or researchers that collaborate at various stages during the design and implementation of novel computational approaches targeting rapid clinical translation, or those working at the intersection of bioinformatics and clinical practice. This workshop will solicit papers that have identified clinical needs that can be addressed by AI and that can provide insight into successes and failures of bringing findings into the clinic. We hope to encourage conversation around how improved collaborations can enhance health care systems.
Topics:
- Impact of AI on Healthcare
- Timelines for Implementing AI in clinical research and the clinic including international variations
- Improving the interpretability of computational algorithms used in the biomedical and healthcare setting
- Complementary roles of physicians and AI in the clinic of the future
- Increasing the translation and trust of computational algorithms and tools for predicting patient/disease outcomes and supporting clinical decision making
- Integrating clinician input in the design of algorithms and tools for the biomedical field
- Addressing biases in machine learning in healthcare and biomedical research
- Methods in medical image interpretation
- Increasing treatment efficiency via methods targeted for patient triaging
- Methods for rapidly translating medical literature into practice
- Algorithms and tools for obtaining data driven insights from clinical notes
