The landscape of healthcare and well-being is rapidly evolving through digitisation.
The growing amount of health data from sources like biobanks, electronic health
records, medical scans, wearable sensors, and cheaper genome sequencing
is paving the way for advanced artificial intelligence (AI) solutions to better
understand the full picture of human health and disease.
Healthcare systems using traditional software algorithms can encounter
difficulties with analysing such large volumes of data coming from multiple
sources. AI steps in to efficiently handle this data and provide value across
biomedical discovery, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment and prevention.
Associate Professor Fatemeh Vafaee is the founder of the Biomedical AI
Laboratory at UNSW Sydney, which is dedicated to developing cutting-edge AI and
data science health solutions.
In this seminar, Fatemeh will provide insights into how AI is advancing biomedical
research and discuss diverse projects across AI-enhanced disease diagnostics
and personalised medicine, AI-accelerated drug discovery, and single-cell
genomics analytics.
