Speaker Biography
Dr. Tavpritesh Sethi is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computational Biology and the founding head of the Center of Excellence in Healthcare at IIIT-Delhi. His area of expertise lies at the interface of computer science and healthcare. His research interests include AI/ML for: (i) early prediction of critical outcomes in Intensive Care Units for sepsis, shock, antimicrobial resistance (ii) pandemic surveillance (iii) multi-modal algorithms for signal enrichment from heterogenous healthcare datasets. His lab developed and deployed a data lake and an early warning system for septic prediction in pediatric and neonatal ICUs. He was also responsible for developing numerous COVID-19 management and surveillance strategies with data and AI.
Dr. Sethi received his M.B.B.S from Government Medical College, Amritsar, and Ph.D. from CSIR-Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology, New Delhi, India. He worked as a research officer at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, and a CSIR Quick Hire Fellow at CSIR-Fourth Paradigm Institute before joining IIIT-Delhi as a faculty member. He was a visiting faculty at Stanford University for two years in Stanford Medicine's Department of Biomedical Informatics Research. He is a Sigma Xi Fellow and has been a fellow of the DBT/Wellcome India Alliance and is a Kavli Fellow.
Dr. Sethi has published more than 50 papers in international journals and serves as an academic editor for PLOS One, Nature Scientific Reports, PeerJ, and the Journal of Genetics. Dr. Sethi is a TEDx speaker and has delivered several keynote addresses at national and international conferences focused on data and AI in healthcare. He serves on the Scientific Advisory Committees of ICMR National Institute of Epidemiology and ICMR National Institute of Occupational Health.
