How do I use this calendar?

You can click on an event to display further information about it.

The toolbar above the calendar has buttons to view different events. Use the left and right arrow icons to view events in the past and future. The button inbetween returns you to today's view. The button to the right of this shows a mini-calendar to let you quickly jump to any date.

The dropdown box on the right allows you to see a different view of the calendar, such as an agenda or a termly view.

If this calendar has tags, you can use the labelled checkboxes at the top of the page to select just the tags you wish to view, and then click "Show selected". The calendar will be redisplayed with just the events related to these tags, making it easier to find what you're looking for.

Title: Harnessing AI Foundation Models for Cancer Diagnostics: Breakthroughs and Future Prospects

Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the landscape of cancer research and clinical diagnosis. Recent advances in microscopic image digitization, multi-modal machine learning algorithms, and scalable computing infrastructure have paved the way for AI-enhanced pathology assessments. In this talk, I will highlight recent breakthroughs in pathology foundation models and their effectiveness in analyzing high-resolution digital pathology images. In addition, I will present examples of AI-empowered real-time pathology evaluations during cancer surgery and demonstrate their adaptability to evolving diagnostic classifications. Furthermore, I will discuss recent studies that employed AI to reveal intriguing links between cell morphology and molecular profiles. Finally, I will outline ongoing challenges in developing robust medical AI systems and identify research directions to address these critical issues.

Bio: Kun-Hsing "Kun" Yu, M.D, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Informatics at Harvard Medical School. He developed the first fully automated artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm to extract thousands of features from whole-slide histopathology images, discovered the molecular mechanisms underpinning the microscopic phenotypes of tumor cells, and successfully identified previously unknown cellular morphologies associated with patient prognosis. His lab integrates cancer patients' multi-omics (genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics) profiles with quantitative histopathology patterns to predict their clinical phenotypes. More than 30 research laboratories worldwide have independently validated the AI methods developed in the Yu Lab.
