NIH Research Festival 2019 Plenary Session 1
The Festival will feature three sets of plenary lectures, a blitz of micro-talks providing a snapshot of selected FARE awardees' work and terrific poster presentations from some of our top junior scientists across the NIH. The Festival is an opportunity to learn from the very best, to see what's happening in your own backyard and to share novel ideas.
Also, the NIH Library will highlight its various services, including new virtual reality demos geared toward biomedical research. The Green Labs Fair will host vendors with products to help laboratories make the transition to more environmentally benign practices. And represe...

Biowulf Seminar: Using whole-genome sequencing to investigate hospital-associated bacterial reservoirs
Biowulf Seminar
Hospital acquired infections (HAIs) impact 650,000 patients annually, with estimated costs in the billions of dollars. The hospital environment is a reservoir for bacteria that can cause such infections. We have performed two large-scale genomic analyses of bacteria associated with hospital plumbing and infrastructure, in order to better characterize this environment. In the first study, we identified hospital plumbing as the reservoir for a cluster of multi-drug resistant Sphingomonas koreensis isolates collected from patients over a decade. In a second study, sink drains, housekeeping equipment and high-t...

Machine Intelligence in Healthcare: Perspectives on Trustworthiness, Explainability, Usability and Transparency
Machine Intelligence (MI) is rapidly becoming key to biomedical discovery, clinical research, medical diagnostics and devices, and precision medicine. In the context of this meeting, MI is defined as the ability of a trained computer system to provide rational, unbiased guidance to humans in such a way that achieves optimal outcomes in a range of environments and circumstances. MI tools can uncover new possibilities for both physicians and patients, allowing them to make more informed decisions and achieve better medical outcomes. When deployed, these outputs can enhance efficiency at every level of the healthcare system.
