The Clinical Data Science Institute
The Clinical Data Science Institute
The institute is focussed on the leveraging the proliferation of large data sets and new developments in artificial intelligence to enhance the state of the art in patient care.
We work at the intersection of mathematics, computer science, artificial intelligence, and clinical ophthalmology. We aim to leverage mathematical, statistical, and artificial intelligence modeling to enhance our knowledge and understanding of eye diseases and ultimately improve clinical treatment through our passionate research. We integrate imaging and clinical data to understand disease root causes, improve early diagnosis capabilities, identify potential interventions to narrow disparities, conserve resources, compare treatments and improve outcomes.
