🔔 HAPPENING TODAY: "So often in biomedical research, we are pressed by those in power or those holding the purse strings to demonstrate value and quantify impact. Numbers. Particularly in biobanking, there are ongoing debates about how we do this and what metric will resonate most with those making the decisions – papers, samples collected, samples distributed etc. But what if it’s not about choosing a different unit of measurement – what if it’s about interpreting value in an entirely different way? As a biomed who got lost trying to quantify the very human experience of participating in biomedical research I found a different way… one that I’m now excited to share and explore further. Preaching to the converted is one thing, but for those like me who were trying to fit square pegs into round holes, how can we make qualitative methods accessible and work in an inclusive way with our quantitative cousins?" We are so excited to hear from Cassandra Griffin, Biobanking and Clinical Research Manager, University of Newcastle as she explores finding a 'different path'. Brought to you by CAPHIA's Qualitative Methodologies and Methods Network, chaired by Dr Meredith Tavener, PhD, FHEA. When: October 25th 12pm - 1pm AEDT Cost: Free for staff and students of member institutions, $40 for non members. Get your ticket here: https://lnkd.in/gb-9vw8J

How Can Enhanced Prognostic Models Improve Medical Care? Meet 2023 DDSA PhD Fellow Mikkel Simonsen from Aalborg Universitet, who is aiming to enhance the effectiveness of prognostic models used in medical care by focusing on their calibration and practical value 🔍🏥 His research aims to create a method that improves the precision of these models, making them useful across diverse clinical settings worldwide. The project involves two key aspects: firstly, developing a new approach to validate prognostic models externally, specifically enhancing their calibration for different international contexts. Secondly, applying this methodology alongside machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques to design improved prognostic models for haematological cancers. The use of Denmark's comprehensive clinical registers will support model development. Ultimately, this work will empower healthcare professionals, patients, and planners with more accurate tools for clinical decisions, aiding in treatment choices and patient recruitment for trials, while minimising treatment side effects for low-risk patients. Mikkel holds a master’s degree in #mathematics from Aalborg University! ➗✖️ From his perspective, the DDSA plays a role in connecting data scientists, facilitating the application of their skills, and inspiring their work! This opportunity is possible due to Novo Nordisk Foundation and VELUX FONDEN # VILLUM FONDEN! Thank you for contributing to #GrowingDanishDataScience 💥🚀

【Inauguration of the New Cornerstone Science Laboratory】Professor Siew Ng from CU Medicine is the first female clinician-scientist selected as a New Cornerstone Investigator in mainland China. She is also the first scholar in Hong Kong to receive this honour in the field of Biological and Biomedical Sciences. The New Cornerstone Science Laboratory, under Professor Ng’s leadership, will dissect the complex Da Vinci Code underlying food, microbes and immunity, and bring hope for the development of novel therapeutic targets for chronic inflammation, cancer and immune-mediated diseases. At the unveiling ceremony of the New Cornerstone Science Laboratory, Professor Ng delivered a lecture titled “Food, Microbiome and Medicine: My Love Language”. She introduced her work under The New Cornerstone Investigator Program, which focuses on deciphering the immunoregulatory mechanisms of the human body in response to different food. Professor Ng said, “Scientific breakthroughs are the result of the collective effort of a team, not the merit of any individual. The establishment of the New Cornerstone Science Laboratory is a milestone in my career, and I am deeply grateful to the New Cornerstone Science Foundation for providing the support for us to push forward biomedical science for better human health. This will allow us to explore uncharted territories and translate laboratory findings into clinical applications that will benefit the global community.” The New Cornerstone Science Foundation is currently China’s largest non-governmental and non-profit funding organisation providing support in the field of basic science. It was founded in 2022 with an initial donation of 10 billion RMB from Tencent. The New Cornerstone Investigator Program is a funding initiative that takes a forward-thinking approach to encouraging basic research spearheaded by leading scientists. The Program funds two major research fields, Mathematics & Physical Sciences and Biological & Biomedical Sciences, and encourages interdisciplinary research. About 600 leading scientists applied in 2023. After several rounds of rigorous evaluation, Professor Siew Ng became one of the 46 selected scholars. To date, The Program has supported 104 outstanding New Cornerstone Investigators. Details: https://bit.ly/4bX6Yi3 #CUMedicine #SiewNG #NewCornerstoneInvestigator #Microbiome

What does #communityengagement in #translationalresearch *really* mean? Last year, CREST helped develop a free, 25-minute, self-paced course to help explain what translational research is, the work that is currently going on at Tufts University, and how you can get involved. After completing this course, you will be able to: -Describe two examples of community research partnerships at Tufts. -Describe the translational research process. -Identify the various roles that community members can take on in academic research. Time to complete: 25 minutes (and please take the post-course survey!)

Adjunct Lecturer & Researcher at Hellenic Open University. Researcher at ReSEES - AUEB | Sustainable Development Unit, ATHENA | AI, Machine Learning, Data Science. Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT). Author of Math books
I want to congratulate PhD candidate Nikolaos Theodorakis, MD, from the National & Kapodistrian University of Athens, School of Medicine, and the Director of the Geriatric Outpatient Clinic, Dr. Maria Nikolaou, MD for their significant contribution to our recent publication titled, "Integrating Machine Learning with Multi-Omics Technologies in Geroscience: Towards Personalized Medicine" in the Journal of Personalized Medicine MDPI. This pioneering work delves into the intersection of machine learning and multi-omics technologies, offering groundbreaking insights into the molecular hallmarks of aging. By exploring these advanced technologies, this research paves the way for personalized medicine interventions that could revolutionize the future of healthy aging. I would also like to extend my sincere thanks to all the co-authors who played a crucial role in this work: Dr. Nikolaos Theodorakis, MD, Asst. Prof. Lazaros Tzelves, MD (Ιατρική Σχολή ΕΚΠΑ/ NKUA Medical School ), Dr. Evgenia Paxinou, Dr.Christos Hitas, Dr. Georgia Vamvakou, Prof. Vassilios Verykios (Hellenic Open University) and Dr. Maria Nikolaou, MD. https://lnkd.in/d6FtK3J9 👏 Well done to the entire team! #Research #Geroscience #PersonalizedMedicine #MachineLearning #Aging #MultiOmics #Innovation #Healthcare
