Fetal magnetic resonance imaging is challenging to perform as the fetus continually moves during image acquisition. As a result, the technologist must know how to "chase the fetus" to get images orthogonal to the fetal brain and repeat these acquisitions until images without motion are obtained. In this talk we will discuss how ML approaches are being used to accelerate and automate fetal imaging acquisition. Fetal imaging can be a challenge, but fetal motion also provides insight into the neurological and musculoskeletal development of the fetus. We will also describe how we have used ML approaches to track and quantify fetal motion and the potential neuroscientific and clinical applications.

Clinical research is undergoing a major shift, as regulators and sponsors move towards continuous evidence generation to study how interventions perform over time. In this talk, we’ll explore what’s accelerating this trend, how new tools and technologies are advancing the space, and how it can ultimately enable more personalized care.

In May 2020, I co-authored a preprint that asked whether SARS-CoV-2 might have emerged naturally or from a lab. The preprint propelled me into an unpredictable year-and-a-half journey of searching for the origin of Covid-19. In May 2021, I agreed to write down what I had learnt in a book that will be released on November 16, VIRAL: The Search for the Origin of Covid-19. In this Landmark talk, I will discuss the role of scientists in the investigation of how SARS-CoV-2 emerged in Wuhan in late 2019. I will also describe the available data relevant to the origin of Covid-19, and how scientists can and must play an important role in what is possibly the most important mystery of our generation. This virus will be with us forever. We need to know where it came from.

Dr. Stephen Wolfram  –  creator of Mathematica, Wolfram|Alpha and the Wolfram Language; the author of A New Kind of Science; the originator of the Wolfram Physics Project; and the founder and CEO of Wolfram Research – will speak about the computational future and biomedicine. Dr. Wolfram will share a roadmap for recentering biomedicine around computation and give insights into harnessing data driven science to transform the biomedical landscape. This should be a relevant and an illuminating talk from one of the foremost leaders in computational health.
