About this Class
The NLM Division of Intramural Research (DIR) is pleased to welcome Tiarnán Keenan, MD, PhD, Stadtman Tenure-Track Investigator and Director of the Medical Retina Fellowship Program at the National Eye Institute to present his lecture entitled "Diverse Applications of Computational Research and Artificial Intelligence in Ophthalmology".
Ophthalmology is ideally positioned to benefit from recent advances in computational data science and artificial intelligence. As a highly image-based specialty, it offers non-invasive, high-resolution views of the microvascular circulation and the central nervous system, creating rich opportunities for computational analysis with direct clinical relevance. This seminar will present diverse applications of advanced biostatistics, computational research, and machine learning techniques in ophthalmology, with a focus on age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in industrialized countries, and cataract, the leading cause of blindness worldwide. Topics will include automated disease detection, quantitative severity classification, and prognostic prediction of disease progression from retinal imaging data, with and without the integration of genetic information. Methodological themes will span deep feature extraction, label transfer, and multi-modal, multi-task learning frameworks.
The NLM Colloquia on Biomedical Data Science and Computational Biology Research is a series of scientific lectures featuring experts from across the bioinformatics community who present their research and discuss how it contributes to advancing biomedical discovery. This series is presented by NLM’s DIR a premier hub of innovation for computational biology and biomedical data science.
