Martina Mancini, Ph.D. and Nikesha Gilmore, Ph.D.

In this webinar, Drs. Mancini and Gilmore will describe how different types of biomarkers (including those retrieved by a patient wearable) can be used to examine the effects of cancer and cancer treatment on trajectories related to aging. Examples include digital biomarkers related to gait and balance, as well as a biological biomarker reflecting epigenetic age.

Headshot of Elham Azizi, Ph.D.
December 03, 2021 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m. ET

Elham Azizi, Ph.D.

Hear from Columbia University’s Dr. Elham Azizi as she presents a set of machine learning methods developed to address problems such as handling sparsity and noise, distinguishing technical variation from biological heterogeneity, inferring underlying circuitry, and inferring temporal dynamics of immune cell states in clinical cohorts. Dr. Azizi will also present novel biological insights obtained from applying these methods to cancer systems.
