Seminar @ Cornell Tech: Fei Wang
Integrative Mining of Heterogeneous Health Data
The arrival of the Precision Medicine age brings tremendous opportunities to scientific discovery and quality improvement in medicine and healthcare. However, it also raises big challenges in dealing with large and massive healthcare data from heterogeneous sources. In this talk, I will present a series of research from my group on generating insights from complex healthcare data including Electronic Health Records (EHR), drug development data, neuroimaging data, etc. I will also point out the limitations of existing methodologies and future research directions.
