Join the Machine Learning in Medical Imaging Consortium (MaLMIC) for an opportunity to network on machine learning
Ontario Tumour Bank and Ontario Health Study: Machine learning resources and projects
September 29, 2023 from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m.
The MaLMIC fall forum, hosted by Dr. Lincoln Stein, focused on human sample and data resources for machine learning research. Dr. Dianne Chadwick described the Ontario Tumour Bank (OTB)’s repository of human cancer biospecimens and de-identified clinical data. Following this, Dr. Philip Awadalla provided an overview of the Ontario Health Study (OHS) and described research from his lab using simulation-based and machine learning tools to analyze evolution in non-recombining systems and the use of liquid biopsies to identify genetic and epigenetic markers indicative of cancer development. The presentations were followed by questions and answers about the talks, and discussion focused on lessons learned, opportunities to collaborate, and the availability of data and biosamples from OTB and the OHS.
