UofT DNA researcher seeks advanced skills in time series prediction models
Researcher: Karim Mekhail seeks skills from another member
Institution: University of Toronto
Website: https://www.mekhaillab.com
Project aims: DNA mobility can contribute to genome stability. Although initially believed to be random, this mobility can exhibit non-random motions consistent with gaining access to repair-conducive factors. The current goal is to predict the motion of DNA and the outcome of repair on a single-cell level.
Desired skills in collaborators: Advanced knowledge of time series prediction models.
Automated medical billing startup seeks Natural Language Processing expertise
Contact: Adam Kepecs (Tel: 647-812-6678)
Organization: IntelAGENT
Project aims: This project aims to use Machine Learning to parse a clinician's unstructured free-text patient encounter note in their Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system to identify billable OHIP services. This will alleviate administrative overhead and help physicians spend more time in clinical practice.
Desired skills: Expertise in Natural Language Processing models for unstructured clinical notes.
Other collaborators in this project: Prof. Frank Rudzicz
UofT researcher seeks AI collaborators for EHR project
Researcher: Yalini Senathirajah
Institution: University of Toronto
Project description: Interested in collaborations with those with a mature AI recommendation algorithm that could be integrated into the EHR (our research is on user-controlled platforms for EHR redesign)
Project aims: Composable approaches to EHR design may have benefits for human-computer interaction, cognitive support, efficiency, workflow, and other benefits. It also may make it easier to incorporate AI-based recommendations at the point-of-care. We are interested in possibly piloting this approach with those with appropriate tested algorithms seeking to incorporate them into the EHR.
Desired skills in collaborators: Those who have developed AI-based algorithms aimed at clinical care, at an appropriate stage of development/testing.
Collaboration Opportunity In Rare Disease AI: Université Paris Cité
The Imagine Institute and Necker Hospital have developed a data warehouse of 1 million pediatric patients with “all for all“ phenotyping based on their raw electronic health record data. Histories of rare disease patients (as well as common disease patients) are extracted from patient electronic health records, and clinical images and photographs (e.g., for facial dysmorphia) are are also available. Clinical data can be linked with the -omic data generated at the Imagine Institute. Omic data are from different types: genomic, exome, transcriptome, single cell, and organ-specific such as those derived from Urine-Derived Renal Epithelial Cells (URECs). In addition, collaborators will have the opportunity to work with the Paris AI Institute (PR[AI]RIE). All interested collaborators are requested to contact

Project description: This collaborative research initiative between Université Paris Cité (France) and the University of Toronto represents a groundbreaking effort to redefine the classification of circulatory shock through the application of artificial intelligence (AI) approaches for the integration of high dimensional biomarker data.
The collaborative project, known as the AI in Shock and acute Conditions OutcOmes Platform (Shock CO-OP), seeks to enable a paradigm shift in the understanding of circulatory shock clinical syndrome by identifying distinct subclasses based on physiological/molecular profiles (i.e., subphenotypes).
Our international/multidisciplinary research group already identified distinct subphenotypes in septic shock patients with different outcomes and inflammatory and cardiovascular patterns. By leveraging existing clinical and biomarker data from complementary cohorts/clinical trials with biobanks in Europe and North America, our research group aims to further uncover novel insights into the pathophysiology of circulatory shock independently from its etiology (e.g., infection, myocardial infarction, trauma, major surgery) by identifying distinct biomarker-driven subphenotypes. This will allow the development of biomarker/subphenotype-based therapies to improve short-/long-term patient-centered outcomes (i.e., precision critical care medicine).
Desired skills in collaborators:
• Seeking Graduate Students for 1-2 Years
• Good programming skills in Python and/or R especially for:
1) high dimensional metagenomic, transcriptomic and proteomic data management and analysis.
2) Longitudinal and functional data analysis and unsupervised machine learning and model-based clustering (i.e., mixture modeling) for subphenotyping purposes in heterogeneous populations.
-Proactive, team player, self-motivated and able to learn new approaches
