This meeting is designed to foster the development of a cohesive National Institutes of Health (NIH) AI community by uniting PIs (Principal Investigators) from the FY22 and FY23 Office of Data Science Strategy (ODSS) AI supplement programs for a two-day, virtual gathering that will provide a platform for participants to exchange insights on their projects, celebrate accomplishments, discuss best practices, share lessons learned, and engage in collaborative discussions.
Principal Investigators from the following cloud supplement programs have been invited:
Dr. Susan K. Gregurick was appointed Associate Director for ODSS at the NIH on September 16, 2019. Under Dr. Gregurick’s leadership, the ODSS leads the implementation of the NIH Strategic Plan for Data Science through scientific, technical, and operational collaboration with the institutes, centers, and offices that comprise NIH. Dr. Gregurick received the 2020 Leadership in Biological Sciences Award from the Washington Academy of Sciences for her work in this role. She was instrumental in the creation of the ODSS in 2018 and served as a senior advisor to the office until being named to her current position.
Since joining NIH in 2020, Dr. Laura Biven has led the Integrated Infrastructure and Emerging Technologies (IIET) branch in ODSS. She is responsible for strategic planning, coordination, and oversight of programs that integrate independently managed, cloud data resources across the NIH to advance NIH’s vision for an integrated, FAIR biomedical data ecosystem. She also oversees multidisciplinary NIH-wide programs that focus on integrating computational, mathematical, and biomedical research communities around emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, (AI/ML) quantum computing, and digital twins.
Christine Cutillo is a Health Data Scientist for AI Ethics in the ODSS, within the Integrated Infrastructure and Emerging Technologies (IIET) unit. She is responsible for multidisciplinary NIH-wide AI Ethics efforts – focusing on integrating ethics through the AI lifecycle in biomedical research applications. She is highly interested in data-driven scientific and health care innovations that are transparent, ethical, and designed for and with the patient/end user. Prior to joining ODSS, Christine was the Data Science Lead in the Office of the Director at the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) for three years.
We are looking forward to your participation at the meeting. We encourage you to review our agenda, which will be updated as new information is confirmed, speakers are assigned to breakout sessions, and presentations are uploaded following the event. *Agenda is subject to change.
