AI for Precision Medicine and Clinical Trials
The Institute of Artificial Intelligence for Digital Health invites you to attend its monthly seminar series, featuring Dr. Ruishan Liu, Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the University of Southern California (USC).
Toward a new era of medicine, the mission is to benefit every patient with individualized medical care. This talk explores how AI can make precision medicine more effective and diverse. Dr. Liu will first discuss Trial Pathfinder, a computational framework to optimize clinical trial designs (Liu et al. Nature 2021). Trial Pathfinder simulates synthetic patient cohorts from medical records and enables inclusive criteria and data valuation. In the second part, Dr. Liu will discuss how to leverage large real-world data to identify genetic biomarkers for precision oncology (Liu et al. Nature Medicine 2022, Liu et al. Nature Communications 2024), and how to use language models to form individualized treatment plans (Liu et al. Cell Reports Medicine 2024).
