COVID-19 Pandemic Response
Medical statistics was a key part of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Like many teams, we applied our experience with data analysis, real-world evidence and international collaboration to help healthcare systems around the world respond to the health crisis, and learn from it.
Machine Learning and Medical Statistics
Our lab applies machine learning in medical statistics, allowing us to identify patterns and insights in large amounts of health data. This can lead to improved diagnoses, treatments, and overall healthcare outcomes.
Fair and Safe Medical AI
As artificial intelligence continues to grow in its power and applications, we are harnessing its power to improve healthcare, making it fair and safe for all.
