The University of Leeds has been awarded £500,000 by the Medical Research Council (MRC) to fund an ambitious three-year project aimed at enhancing #career prospects and #leadership opportunities for #biomedical data scientists. The initial idea was formed and developed via the LIDA Health Community, where colleagues were able to collaborate, with dedicated time to the subject and have meaningful discussions on challenges and solutions. Working with university, industry and public sector partners the Biomedical Data Science and Careers Leadership project has several key initiatives: 🗺 Mapping Career Pathways 👩🏫 Mentorship and Career Advice 💼 Sector Collaboration 📊 Entrepreneurship and Commercialization Read more 👉 https://lnkd.in/e7rEhbbt

We were proud to support this critical British Heart Foundation funded work using Artificial intelligence (#AI) to identify patients at risk of heart failure. Professor Chris Gale and his team at University of Leeds trained and developed a #MachineLearning model and needed a way for people use it. Our Data Analytics Team created a containerised #API that standardised the parameters it could accept and the output it generated. We then created a web app that could collect those parameters from a simple web form, pass them through the API to the model and present the result as a simple percentage chance. A user could therefore enter the website, answer some questions and hit 'Go'. Find out more about this amazing work... https://lnkd.in/e9ZXQW-S

Unlocking your most sensitive data for remote access across the UK Data in LASER subject to physical access control is now available through 23 SafePods across the UK. The most sensitive data used in #research spanning #health, #crime, #business, #environment, #biological and #food projects (to name a few!) was previously only accessible via our Safe Rooms, located in LIDA. Now, LASER users can access their data from 23 UK locations from Exeter, to Dundee, to Ulster. Join our short webinar on 2nd May, to hear about this revolutionary change and how your research can benefit from it. https://lnkd.in/exd5y2GG

The team attended AI UK 2024, and we were blown away by the experience! 🚀 From insightful sessions to cutting-edge innovations, it was an event that truly showcased the power and potential of artificial intelligence in shaping our future. We had the chance to connect with industry leaders, exchange ideas, and gain valuable insights that will fuel our mission to harness the power of data analytics for positive change. 📈💡 We all had our favourite moments from national defence and local councils preventing homelessness, to dragons den pitches and drag artists.
