Innovative Discovery Series - Diet Composition in Early Infancy: Impact on energy balance, weight status, and other health outcomes
2024-12-17 12:00 - 13:00 | Microsoft Teams
The early nutritional environment plays a crucial role in optimizing growth, developing a palate for a healthy diet, and reducing risks for disease. While human milk is the gold standard for infant nutrition, by 4 months of age >50% of US infants are fed infant formula, either alone or to supplement human milk. As a group, infants who feed infant formula are more likely to experience rapid weight gain, weigh more, and are at greater risk for obesity, than are breastfed infants. However, the composition of formulas varies; thus, formula-fed infants are not a homogeneous group. This presentation will review findings from a randomized controlled trial (RCT) that investigated the effects of two commercially available, isocaloric formulas with different macronutrient compositions, on weight gain, energy balance mechanisms, gastrointestinal microbiota, and subsequent diet in healthy, formula-fed infants.

Tech Talk: Integrating Multiscale modeling and Machine Learning In Computational Medicine
2025-03-06 12:00 | Microsoft Teams
Thursday March 6, 2025 from 12:00-1:00pm
Virtual Teams Presentation
Computational models have revolutionized our understanding of complex biological systems. These models typically fall into two categories: multiscale models and machine learning models. Multiscale models, grounded in the fundamental principles of physics and chemistry, can dissect the intricate causalities in disease progression. In parallel, machine learning models, based on rich datasets, have yielded unique insights into complex pattern recognition within these systems.
In this talk, Dr. Deng will demonstrate how multiscale models are developed to probe disease-mediated changes in blood dynamics. She will also show how various machine learning models, with a focus on deep learning, are designed to enhance accurate prediction, optimize treatment plans, and distill extensive knowledge of different diseases.
To conclude, she will discuss the pivotal factors—such as age and sex—that are critical to customizing treatments in the realm of precision medicine, and to synergistically integrate multiscale modeling with machine learning to enable the design of more comprehensive personalized medicine.

Tech Talk: Using Cross-Classified Multilevel Models To Estimate The Impact Of Patient-Level Risk Factors And Time-Varying Hospital Until On Healthcare-Associated Clostridioides Difficile Infection
2024-11-07 12:00 - 13:00 | Microsoft Teams
Thursday November 7, 2024 from 12:00-1:00pm
Virtual Teams Presentation
The use of multilevel modeling in epidemiology allows health researchers to examine how a person’s physical or socially constructed environment may influence their health exposures or disease occurrence. This TechTalk will provide an overview of how multilevel modeling can be used in epidemiologic research in a clinical setting. A traditional example of a multilevel data structure considers how a person’s health may be influenced by their neighborhood or place of residence. In an inpatient setting, we can consider how a patient’s health status may be influenced by their physical environment, such as their room, unit, or hospital. We will walk through an example of this method using data from a case-control study of ChristianaCare patients, evaluating patient-level risk factors for Clostridioides difficile infection, accounting for the patient’s physical environment throughout their hospitalization. Challenges in conducting research in this setting will be discussed and analytic solutions proposed.

Innovative Discovery Series - Creating a Graphical Logic Model
2024-08-27 12:00 - 13:00 | Microsoft Teams
Creating a Graphical Logic Model will introduce the basic concepts of the logic modeling process and define the elements that comprise a logic model. Participants will be taken through the process of creating a graphical logic model for a project, including identifying project goals and key strategies and brainstorming the theory of change that links strategies to goals. Uses of a logic model, such as its value as a communication tool, an aid in project design, and a foundation for project evaluation, will be discussed, as will methods for embedding evaluation into a project’s logic model, including identifying indicators. A web-based logic modeling program will be demonstrated, and examples of logic models and theories of change will be provided. Participants are encouraged to create a free Lucidchart account (www.lucidchart.com) prior to the session if they would like work within the software during the demonstration.
