Computational precision health is a rapidly evolving field at the intersection of the computational (to include computer science, data science, and statistics) and the health sciences (clinical medicine, population health, clinical research). The seminar series will consist of a combination of journal club-style discussion of recent literature in Computational Precision Health, guest faculty speakers drawn from across the program’s faculty and beyond, presentations by second-year students on work completed during lab rotations, and presentations by third-year students on “work in progress” on active dissertation research. Each cohort of PhD and DE students will have their own breakout sections to build community within that year.

Computational precision health (CPH) is a rapidly evolving field at the intersection of the computational (to include computer science, data science, and statistics) and the health sciences (clinical medicine, population health, clinical research). The advent of generative AI models has significantly boosted the rapid progress of CPH research, with new major contributions occurring within very short spans of time. Because this field is rapidly evolving, some of the most exciting recent advancements could not be covered in traditional foundational courses and warrant a dedicated thematic lecture series. This course will involve a set of invited lectures by world-leading experts who made fundamental contributions in the fields of computation
