SUMMARY:Leadership in Medicine: Southeast Asia
DESCRIPTION:Global health care leaders must have expertise in leadership\, health care finance and human resource management in order to maintain excellence in service and patient care. With the support of Sunway University and Sunway Medical Centre\, the Harvard Medical School Postgraduate Medical Education has developed the Leadership in Medicine: Southeast Asia program to ensure that emerging health care leaders in Malaysia\, Southeast Asia\, Australia and the Pacific region have access to the world’s leading authorities in safety\, quality\, complex organizational management and health leadership. \nLeadership in Medicine: Southeast Asia is a one-year certificate program consisting of three\, four-day residential workshops (in Bandar Sunway\, Selangor\, Malaysia and Boston\, Massachusetts\, US)\, pre-recorded lectures and interactive webinars focused on relevant and complementary topics. The program is designed for senior and executive-level hospital\, primary care\, recuperative care\, community and other health care facility administrators\, chiefs of staff\, hospital board members\, chief nursing officers\, department directors and other health care professionals with supervisory\, management or executive-level responsibilities. \nThe Leadership in Medicine: Southeast Asia program will also be of benefit to clinicians who are transitioning or seeking to transition into administrative management or executive roles. Medical and non-medical personnel and staff who aspire to become directors\, executives and administrators will also find tremendous value in the knowledge and skills taught. Harvard Medical School looks forward to reviewing applications from all members of the health care community.

SUMMARY:Clarifying the Mysteries of Choosing Statistical and Machine-Learning Methods in Genomics Research
DESCRIPTION:Virtual presentation by Jingyi Jessica Li\, a professor in the Department of Statistics (primary) and the Departments of Biostatistics\, Computational Medicine\, and Human Genetics (secondary) at UCLA. Li leads a research group called the Junction of Statistics and Biology\, where she and her students focus on developing statistical and computational methods to answer important questions in biological and biomedical sciences and to extract key information from genomics and health-related data. \nIn this lecture\, Lin will clarify common confusions in genomics data analysis by connecting cutting-edge genomics research questions with fundamental statistical and machine-learning methods. In particular\, she will focus on the distinctions and choices among the methods that are apparently similar but fundamentally different\, so that quantitative genomics researchers will have clear guidelines to follow in their development of bioinformatics tools. Register online. \nLi has received multiple awards and grants from National Institutes of Health\, the National Science Foundation (NSF)\, and other institutions\, including the Johnson & Johnson WiSTEM2D Scholars Award (2018)\, a Sloan Research Fellowship (2018)\, an NSF Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program Award (2019)\, and a spot on the MIT Technology Review 35 Innovators Under 35 China list (2020).

SUMMARY:SOLUTIONS with/in/sight: Algorithm and Views
DESCRIPTION:Two teams of KI investigators share their innovations using machine learning tools to improve lung cancer detection. Coupling machine learning algorithms with responsive nanoparticles\, KI alum Ava Amini and Jesse Kirkpatrick of the Bhatia Lab develop noninvasive diagnostics to classify tumor types and inform patient interventions. They are joined by KI computer scientist Regina Barzilay and oncologist Lecia Sequist who will discuss how they use algorithms to look deeper into radiology images to predict future cancer risk. Through these projects\, the researchers present their vision for smarter decision-making and better care for patients. The program concludes with a dessert reception in the Koch Institute Public Galleries.
