DESCRIPTION:For our next BDI Distinguished Seminar\, we will be hearing fr
 om Prof Ewan Birney\, Director of EMBL-EBI. We’re delighted to host Ewan
  in what promises to be a great talk!\n\nDate: Friday 11 September\nTime: 
 14:00 – 15:00 \nTalk title: DELPHI: AI in Epidemiology\nLocation: Big Da
 ta Institute\, Seminar Room 0\n\nAbstract\nAI is providing an entirely new
  way to approach complex high dimensional biological problems. Having outl
 ined EMBL’s strategy in AI and the importance of both data and methods i
 n delivering AI\, I will illustrate this using an example from my research
 \, DELPHI. DELPHI is an AI healthcare model applied to healthcare events\,
  able to model the incidence of life events in individuals across multiple
  diseases. I will explain how the method works and its training in the UK 
 BioBank and zero-shot testing in Danish healthcare. I will then outline a 
 number of extensions\, including genetics\, imaging and metabolomics.\n\nS
 hort biography\nEwan Birney is the Director of EMBL’s European Bioinform
 atics Institute (EMBL-EBI)\, which manages the world's most comprehensive 
 suite of open molecular data resources. He also leads a research group wor
 king on inter-individual variation in humans and Medaka fish\, as well as 
 novel algorithmic methods for genomics.\n\nEwan led the analysis of the Hu
 man Genome gene set\, mouse and chicken genomes and the ENCODE project\, f
 ocusing on non-coding elements of the human genome. His main areas of rese
 arch include functional genomics\, DNA algorithms\, statistical methods to
  analyse genomic information\, and use of images for chromatin structure.\
 n\nA non-executive Director of Genomics England and the UK’s Health Data
  Research Service\, Ewan is also a consultant and advisor to a number of c
 ompanies\, including Oxford Nanopore Technologies and Cantata Bio. \n\n—
