Artificial Intelligence (AI) is poised to transform healthcare, but its successful integration into healthcare requires careful consideration of regulatory frameworks, governance structures, data equity, and privacy protections. To help their academic community coalesce around this challenge, a team comprised of researchers from Lehigh University, Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School, and Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine are gathering researchers, clinicians, and industry experts in this space as part of the 2025 Spring Symposium Series sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI.) The team's "Leveraging AI to Revolutionize Healthcare" symposium will be a key portion of the 2025 AAAI Spring Symposium Series, set for Monday, March 31 through Wednesday, April 2, 2025, at the San Francisco Airport Marriott Waterfront in Burlingame, California.

Five multidisciplinary teams received seed grants to develop community-informed solutions for better health.

BUFFALO, NY — March 5, 2025 — A new research paper was published in Aging (Aging-US) on February 11, 2025, Volume 17, Issue 2, titled “Exposome-wide association study of environmental chemical exposures and epigenetic aging in the national health and nutrition examination survey.”

Identifying therapeutic gene targets is essential for advancing personalized medicine and addressing the genetic basis of diseases. However, traditional experimental methods for discovering these targets are costly and time-consuming. While deep learning has shown promise in identifying biomarker genes, it has struggled to identify therapeutic genes. To address this challenge, researchers have developed an innovative method, the Hypergraph Interactive Transformer, which accurately and quickly identifies therapeutic gene targets using hypergraphs and attention-based learning.
