CURRENT GRANT AWARDS
MII faculty lead a number of biomedical informatics and data science projects, working with engineers, clinicians, and other researchers to advance knowledge discovery and patient healthcare delivery. You can find out more information on our presently funded extramural research projects below.
Significant health disparities exist in chronic kidney disease (CKD), CKD progression, and end stage renal disease (ESRD) in ethnically diverse populations.
The confluence of machine learning (ML) data-driven approaches and increased computational power, alongside access to the wealth of electronic health records (EHRs) and other emergent types of data (e.g.,
Heart failure is a debilitating disease that affects over five million people in the United States and in 2012 had a direct cost of over $30.7 billion annually.
Stroke is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the United States, with approximately 795,000 Americans experiencing a new or recurrent stroke each year.
The rollout of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) lung screening programs is accelerating in the United States, aiming for earlier detection of lung cancer to improve long-term survival.
Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in American men, accounting for 26% of new cancer diagnoses and 9% of cancer deaths in men.
We are implementing a prototype next-generation decision support system called SmartDx, which learns the optimal sequence of diagnostic tests tailored to a patient’s unique characteristics and circumstances.
