Artificial Intelligence and Computing in Medicine – why, how, and when

Events, SeminarsBy Grzegorz Janik 19 February 2021

Abstract In the first of two seminars dedicated to research agenda of Sano, I introduce motivations behind investing substantial research efforts into the development and integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and computing in clinical workflows. I explain why we experience the enormous growth in popularity of AI and conceptually describe how AI works. I use…

All-atom Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulation of protein folding and other large scale conformational changes

Events, SeminarsBy Grzegorz Janik 11 February 2021

Abstract Many biologically relevant processes are characterized by major conformational changes of the involved biomolecules. While recent advances in experimental methods have improved our ability to observe proteins and other biomolecules these experiments do not give us a full account of the microscopic changes from which the observable conformational changes arise. For a more complete…

Preterm birth prediction using convolutional neural networks

Events, SeminarsBy Grzegorz Janik 3 February 2021

Abstract Preterm birth (PTB), defined as birth before 37 weeks of gestation, affects 5-18% of pregnancies worldwide, which is equivalent to 15 million preterm neonates each year [1]. Despite major advances in perinatal care, preterm birth still accounts for 75% of neonatal deaths and over 50\% of neurological handicap in children. Prediction and early detection…

Non-invasive diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension based on MRI images measurements and mathematical models’ interpretation

Events, SeminarsBy Grzegorz Janik 25 January 2021

Abstract Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a clinical condition characterised by an increased mean pulmonary arterial pressure measured, at rest, by right heart catheterisation (RHC). RHC is currently considered the gold standard for diagnosis, follow-up and measurement of response to treatment. Although the severe complications and mortality risk associated with the invasive procedure are reduced when…

Multi-Component Lattice Boltzmann Equation simulation of blood from the cellular scale to the continuum scale

Events, SeminarsBy Grzegorz Janik 12 January 2021

Abstract Lattice Boltzmann Equation (LBE) simulation method is a meso-scopic (distribution function-based) numerical technique, well adapted for computing certain classes of fluid flow, including complex multi-component flow, not least because of an intrinsic parallel implementability. Blood is a colloid, comprised of plasma (an incompressible Newtonian fluid) in which are suspended a high concentration of very…
