EUGLOH Summer School on Biomedical Data Processing and and Artificial Intelligence

WHAT CAN YOU LEARN?

To educate students for the use of modern information technologies for effective research work and for the dissemination of scientific results from the collected data.

Overview of the basis of data processing in different biomedical applications and state-of-the-art examples presented by distinguished scientists from the five participating universities of the EUGLOH alliance.

Introduction to the topic of artificial intelligence with a special focus on the multidisciplinary research activities.

Participating students are trained by contact lectures and practical sessions involving the personal use of computers on various topics related to the development of transversal skills:

• (Biomedical) data collection, signal processing and analyses
• Artificial intelligence and machine learning in
  • Natural language processing
  • Biological image analysis
  • Gene expression analysis
• Image processing applications
• From literature knowledge to mechanistic modelling
• Health data science and management
• Statistical decision making
• Dissemination of scientific results
• Data processing in epidemiology
  • Data collection and interpretation, conception and design
  • Population testing and tracing
  • Economic model of optimal lockdown
  • Mathematical modelling of the COVID-19 outbreak
  • Complex economic systems

WHAT PEDAGOGICAL METHODS/TOOLS ARE APPLIED?

Personal lectures for students participating in person and online video streaming for distant education. Personal practical sessions by using computer applications for biomedical data analysis, telemedicine, image processing and artificial intelligence. Interactive communication tools, teamwork, networking.
