Keynote Speaker - Dr. Hua Xu; Title: Large Language Models for Biomedical Applications
Monday October 21, 2024 9:00am - 10:00am CDT
N201 Memorial Union
Dr. Hua Xu is Robert T. McCluskey Professor and Vice Chair for Research and Development, Department of Biomedical Informatics and Data Science at Yale School of Medicine (YSM), as well as Assistant Dean for Biomedical Informatics at YSM.  He received his Ph.D. in Biomedical Informatics from Columbia University. His primary research interests include biomedical natural language processing (NLP) and data mining, as well as their applications in secondary use of electronic health records data for clinical and translational research. His research is funded by multiple agencies (i.e., NLM, NCI, NIGMS, NIA, AHA, and CPRIT), and methods/tools developed in his lab have been widely used to support diverse biomedical applications. He served as the Chair of American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) NLP Working Group and now leads the Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics (OHDSI) NLP Working Group. Dr. Xu is a fellow of both the American College of Medical Informatics (ACMI) and the International Academy of Health Sciences Informatics (IAHSI).
