Brief Bio
Dr. Bukhari is an Assistant Professor and Director of Healthcare Informatics at St. John's University, New York. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of New Brunswick, Canada, and completed his postdoctoral fellowship at Yale University. He was also a core research team member at CEDAR Metadata Center, Stanford University. With the Stanford team, he studied scientific experimental reproducibility and completed several projects to improve biomedical data FAIRness and reproducibility. Dr. Bukhari received NIH (ORISE) NCBI fellowship in 2016 to work at National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), Bethesda. Dr. Bukhari developed protocols and pipelines (MiAIRR, CAIRR, and CEDAR-to-NCBI ) for the standardized authoring, validating, and submitting scientific data to the NCBI repositories with NCBI Scientists. His developed resources are now considered de facto resources for several biomedical communities such as AIRR-C & Antibody society. At St. John's University, he teaches healthcare Informatics and computer science to graduate and undergrad students. His current research efforts focus on addressing several core problems in healthcare informatics and data science. Dr. Bukhari has received multiple internal and external grants to support his research efforts.

SCOPE

Machine learning has transformed healthcare by improving disease prediction, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatments. Using large but relatively structured datasets like electronic health records (EHRs), scans, and labs, they provide indispensable tools and decision support to healthcare providers and patients. Lately, with bigger, more complex and unstructured datasets available, healthcare apps and clinical decision support systems (CDSS) have started to leverage deep learning to refine these recommendations. Such systems not only have prediction but learning capabilities also. Consequently, they enable preventive and rehabilitative healthcare that is highly personalized and adaptive. This session seeks completed research on applications of deep learning and cognitive computing in preventive care, personalized treatments and adaptive CDSS aiming to better health outcomes, patient satisfaction and costs.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
  • Machine Learning
  • Deep learning and Cognitive Computing approaches in Disease Prediction
  • Diagnosis
  • Prognosis
  • Personalized Treatments
  • Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS)
  • Adaptive CDSS
  • Precision Medicine and more to enhance preventive and adaptive healthcare
