Overview
Precision medicine, which tailors medical treatment to the unique molecular and clinical characteristics of each patient, represents a transformative goal in health care, particularly for complex or rare diseases. However, the volume and complexity of the biological data generated for each patient is a significant barrier to developing this type of care. Much of this information is derived from omics technologies, which obtain information from multiple biological layers, including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics.
In this HMX Short Course, you will build an understanding of how AI can be used to interpret and integrate these data to reveal hidden patterns that link the findings to disease mechanisms. Through interactive lessons taught by Harvard Medical School faculty, you will explore how generating predictions like these can inform personalized care decisions.
Building expertise in AI-driven omics equips learners to harness cutting-edge tools that redefine innovation across biomedical research, digital health, drug development, and patient-centered care.
Learning Objectives
- Learn about bulk and single-cell omics approaches and how omics data can be used to define cell types or states.
- Discover how machine learning approaches and foundation models are being used to analyze and integrate single-cell omics data.
- Explore applications of omics data and AI in precision medicine, such as biomarkers and drug targets.
Participant Types
Clinicians and health care professionals; biomedical researchers; and professionals in managerial roles in health care and related fields
