Harvard Catalyst Profiles

Wanted: Outstanding MD or PhD predoctoral student for deep learning research at the Cardiovascular Imaging Research Center at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. Current projects apply deep learning to predict health outcomes (e.g. heart attack) from medical imaging (e.g. CT and x-ray). We work with high quality trial datasets of tens of thousands of patients with imaging and adjudicated outcomes (ROMICAT II Hoffmann U et al. NEJM 2012; PROMISE Douglas PS et al. NEJM 2015; Framingham Heart Study Hoffmann U et al. JAMA Cardiology 2017; REPRIEVE Hoffmann U, Lu MT et al Am Heart J 2019; NLST Berg CD et al NEJM 2011).Recent publication using AI to predict mortality from chest x-rays in JAMA Open: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2738349">https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2738349. Prerequisites: Coding experience, experience or commitment to learn PyTorch and/or Tensorflow. Able to work in a collaborative team environment including MDs and PhD.
