Dr. Martin Schoen will be presenting on "Bytes to Bedside: Using Real-World Evidence to Inform Cancer Care". We will be meeting in the Clinical Sciences Center room G5/119 from 8-9:00 am. In person attendance preferred but joining via zoom is an option.
The mission of the Native American Center for Health Professions (NACHP) is to enhance the recruitment, retention, and graduation rates of health professions students engaged with Native communities and to promote health education, research, and community-academic partnerships with Native communities. Join NACHP for our November lunch. Stop in to connect with our staff, faculty, and students and learn more about upcoming NACHP events, resources, and support.
The Wisconsin Registry for Alzheimer's Prevention (WRAP) team invites researchers and scientists who have used WRAP data to join us for the inaugural WRAP+ Collaborator Conference. Since our first study visit in 2001, the WRAP study has grown into one of the world’s largest and longest-running studies of individuals at risk for Alzheimer’s disease. We invite collaborators from our work to join us and hear about future goals and how we can work together for the next 25 years.
Microbiome research offers new opportunities to understand human health and disease, yet findings from association studies are often inconsistent. Interpreting these differences requires reliable statistical inference and an understanding of genuine biological heterogeneity. This talk presents two complementary methodological developments addressing these challenges: a framework for estimating absolute-abundance associate effects and a structure-learning meta-analysis approach.
Francisca Javiera (Javi) Rudolph, PhD, is a computational disease ecologist and Assistant University Librarian for Computational Literacy at the University of Florida’s George A. Smathers Libraries, where she also holds graduate faculty status in the School of Natural Resources and Environment. Her research builds transmission and decision models for wildlife and livestock diseases when surveillance data are sparse, coarse, or incomplete, with work spanning anthrax vaccination in northern Vietna
Dr. Yusuf will be presenting on "Optimizing Cancer Care in a Resource-Constrained Environment". We will be meeting in the Health Sciences Learning Center Rooms 1220-1222 from 8-9:00 am. In person attendance preferred but joining via zoom is an option.
Join researchers and clinicians for an afternoon focused on advancing breast cancer research. Hear PI introductions, learn about current clinical practices and research resources, and participate in small-group discussions on cancer prevention, treatment, resistance, metastasis, and patient advocacy. Connect with colleagues, share ideas, and explore opportunities for collaboration. Lunch and refreshments will be provided
Speaker: Lara Danziger-Isakov, MD, MPH, director, Immunocompromised Host Infectious Disease, professor, UC Department of Pediatrics, Cincinnati Children's
Goals and criteria guide much of statistical practice. I discuss statistical considerations associated with inference to a reference population, and those guided by a goal or a criterion. Reference population examples come from clinical trials, epidemiology & surveys, with representation an overarching issue. Goal/criterion guided examples are drawn from summarizing lab assays and from hospital profiling. I close with comments on a related administrative and political issue: the what & the how.
Ophthalmic lectures for clinical professionals. Faculty, trainees, and guest speakers present and discuss various topics to improve competency and knowledge of eye disease. This weekly event, conducted year-round, provides continuing medical education credits for ophthalmologists and continuing education credits for optometrists. Please join us for these engaging discussions in person at the Health Sciences Learning Center, where a complimentary breakfast is provided during the presentation.
Shrinkage estimation of small domain parameters typically combines a noisy direct estimate with a more stable regression estimate. However, if the regression model is misspecified, the optimal (MLE) estimate of regression parameters can degrade performance. Jiang et all addressed this with the Observed. Best Predictor (OBP). Dr. Louis introduces a class of empirically informed regression weights that are convex combination of the MLE and OBP values-a Compromise Best Predictor (CBP).
This event is open to all UW-Madison students interested in expanding their knowledge about the experience of becoming a physician. The conference provides a unique opportunity to explore numerous medical specialties and learn about various routes into the field of medicine. It includes two keynote physician speakers, a panel of admissions committees, a medical student panel, a resource fair, free snacks, lunch, and quality time to meet and connect with peers.
Jonathan Romanowsky's talk will explore the journey from scientific discovery to clinical adoption, highlighting the commercialization of precision diagnostics, lessons learned from building and launching innovative healthcare technologies, and strategies for translating breakthrough science into products that improve patient care and healthcare outcomes.
Dr. Trembath is a nuclear medicine and radiopharmaceuticals leader with over 20 years of experience in clinical research, imaging, and drug development. Title: Academic-Industry Collaborations in Theranostics Discovery - What Do Sponsors Look For? Join us in HSLC 1335 for this event.
Speakers: Claudette Onyelobi, MD, Jill Denson, PhD, MSW, and Jasmine Zapata, MD, MPH,
