Alert Design in The Real World: A Cross-Sectional Analysis of Interruptive Alerting at 9 Academic Pediatric Health Systems
Democratizing AI for Cancer with Privacy Preserving Synthetic Data Generation for Cancer Case Identification
As part of the Department of Energy’s partnership with the National Cancer Institute, the Modeling Outcomes Using Surveillance Data and Scalable AI for Cancer (MOSSAIC) project aims to develop deep learning models to support near-real-time cancer surveillance at the population level. Through the NCI’s Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program, we deploy models for the automated coding of cancer cases across state and regional cancer registries throughout the United States.
AI Scientists for Biomedical Discoveries
In this talk, James Zou, PhD explores how generative AI agents can enable drug discovery and development. He introduces the Virtual Lab—a collaborative team of AI scientist agents conducting in silico research meetings to tackle open-ended R&D projects. The Virtual Lab designed new nanobody binders to recent COVID variants, which were experimentally validated. He then discusses some interesting opportunities in designing and optimizing multi-agent interactions.
Board of Directors Meeting - Jul. 2025
The Board of Directors is the primary governance body of the Association. Its members focus on high-level strategy, oversight, and accountability for the organization and its operations.
Health Equity Talk Series: Equitable and Representative Academic Partnerships in Global Health Informatics Research
Developing equitable, sustainable informatics solutions is key to scalability and long-term success for projects in the global health informatics (GHI) domain. This webinar presents key strategies for incorporating principles of health equity in the GHI project lifecycle.
Conventional NLP Classifiers versus Large Language Models for Risk Prediction in Clinical Care
Traditional machine learning classifiers using structured representations of text, such as randomly initialized concept embeddings (concept unique identifiers - CUIs), have demonstrated strong performance in clinical risk prediction tasks. In prior work, we developed a CUI-based convolutional neural network substance misuse classifier trained on clinical notes for hospital-based screening. While effective, such models require extensive feature engineering and are limited in their semantic understanding. Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) enable richer contextualization of clinical narratives through prompt engineering and parameter-efficient tuning for computable phenotyping.
