Women Leaders in Academic Research: Do What You Love, Love What You Do: An Anthology of Perspectives on Choosing the Right Path for YOU
Life is all about choices. In order to discover the things we love and subsequently pursue them, we are faced with myriad decisions that relate to our own unique circumstances in life. These choices - and the circumstances underscoring them - often go unspoken or under-appreciated when we consider how our peers, mentors, advocates, and role models got to where they are. This talk will unveil key aspects of my personal journey in doing what I love and loving what I do as a biomedical engineer and translationally-minded cancer researcher - which most recently led me back to my alma mater as one of the youngest faculty ever h...

NLM ADA Lovelace Lecture: Tackling Diabetic Retinopathy in a Safety Net Healthcare Setting with Telehealth and Machine Learning
NLM ADA Lovelace Lecture
Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness in working age adults in the United States. It is challenging to address in both rural and urban underserved settings, which suffer from shortages of eye specialists. This talk will describe the approach taken to address this condition in a medically underserved area (South Los Angeles) by researchers in the Center for Biomedical Informatics at Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science, using telehealth and machine learning on data from patient electronic health records.
Omolola Ogunyemi, PhD, FACMI is the Director of Charles R. Drew U...
