Highlight Video from Fall Digital Pathology Workshop

Last fall AI Health held an in-person workshop designed to give hands-on experience in working with medical digital pathology images using machine learning. See highlights from the afternoon in a video created by our partners in the Center for Computational Thinking. The concept of “do machine learning in just one afternoon!” was very successful, and we appreciate the participation from all those who attended. We are currently working to design more such studios, and please join our mailing list if you’d like to be notified for upcoming events.

Creating a Successful Electronic Health Record (EHR) Study Design Workshop

Congratulations to AI Health Faculty Council member Ben Goldstein, PhD, and Duke Children’s Health & Discovery Initiative Director Jillian Hurst, PhD, for their success in leading the Electronic Health Record (EHR) Study Design Workshop from December 5-9, 2022. The course was offered as a virtual 5-day class providing foundational lectures and hands-on studios on the fundamentals of working with, and designing EHR-based studies. The inaugural workshop generated a great deal of enthusiasm and every seat in the course was filled within 6 weeks of course announcement.

AI Health Data Studio: Hands-On Digital Pathology

This in-person workshop presented by Ricardo Henao, PhD; Associate Professor, Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics; Chief AI Scientist, Duke AI Health, Akhil Ambekar, MS; Fellow, AI Health Data Science Fellowship Program, with Shelley Rusincovitch, MMCi; Managing Director, Duke AI Health, will give you hands-on experience in working with medical digital pathology images using machine learning. Our use case will be in whole slide images of lymph node sections. We will use the CAMELYON16 dataset (https://camelyon16.grand-challenge.org/), which consists of 400 hematoxylin and eosin-stained whole-slide images. During the workshop, you will learn how to retrieve, manage, and process these images, then apply a machine learning model based on a neural network architecture to classify image regions as normal or malignant. The techniques you learn will also be broadly applicable to other types of medical imaging.

Call for Student Applications: AI Health’s Fall 2022 HDS Research Program

We invite Duke students to apply for the Health Data Science (HDS) fall research program. This competitive program, based in Duke AI Health, is designed to allow students who have previous experience in data science to continue their engagement with substantive applied projects. The HDS Research Program offers Duke students, both undergraduate and graduate, the opportunity to be a part of research teams applying advanced machine learning (deep learning) to important areas of medicine. Participating students will be mentored by leading Duke faculty involved in data science research, often with guidance by practicing clinicians. The fall will culminate in a showcase session where student teams will present their results.

2022 Spring AI Health Proposal Studios

The mission of Duke AI Health is to enable the discovery, development, and implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) at Duke and beyond. A key component to achieving this goal is to foster high-impact, rigorous, and competitive proposals for scientific awards. The 2022 AI Health Proposal Studios will provide a structured opportunity for investigators to engage with Duke’s top data science expertise and thought leadership, and to receive review and feedback of the scientific components of their proposals. After seeing a strong response to the Proposal Studio concept and the following virtual learning experiences in 2021, AI Health plans to continue building on last year’s success with the overarching goal of fostering high-impact, rigorous, and competitive proposals for scientific awards.
