Harnessing AI To Explore Health Restoration in Diabetes
One of the promising areas in medical research is the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to analyze large sets of data in order to gain better understanding of the development of disease (pathogenesis) and the restoration of health (salutogenesis). This webinar will feature Dr. Aaron Lee's AI-READI project, which is funded through the NIH Bridge2AI program. AI-READI is generating multimodal (i.e., combining various types/contexts of data), high-quality, and ethically sourced data that will be ready for AI/ML methods to study salutogenesis in the context of type 2 diabetes.
Join via livestream.

The Pilot Award Program is a new component of our NIH-supported U42 program the Human Tissues and Organs for Research Resource (HTORR), and will support individuals that meet at least one of the following three high priority areas:
- Individuals from underrepresented populations in the U.S. biomedical workforce, including women, minorities, persons with disabilities and persons from disadvantaged backgrounds.
- Early-stage investigators that are within 10 years of a terminal degree or completion of clinical residency.
- Established investigators that are transitioning to use human biospecimens.
The 2-year awards provided through our Pilot Award Program will include up to ~10 biological samples per awarded investigator, covering all costs associated with obtaining the biospecimens, including tissue preservation reagents and shipping costs. Beyond the service period and experimental analysis phase, the awardee will also receive supplementary support to develop grant applications to the NIH Institute that supported their award, and only applications that fall into the fields covered by these institutes will be reviewed.
The institutions currently supporting the Pilot Award Program are:
- Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (ORIP)
- National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)
- National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI)
- National Eye Institute (NEI)
- National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)
- National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS)

Recognizing the need for collaboration of MSK scientists with experts outside of the MSK field, we are providing support to MSK Center members to host a meal for a creative and enjoyable in-person networking meeting to stimulate these interactions and to further develop new research ideas and plans to fund them. Faculty, staff, and trainees who are MSKC/CCMBM members are encouraged to apply to host an event.
If you are not a member, you may concurrently apply for membership while your Open MIKE application is being reviewed.
