Brown Bag Lunch: Yesol Sapozhnikov – Sketch Your Proposal – Investigating risk factors of antibiotic-resistant infections with machine learning approaches

Hello and good evening, IMCI crew,

This is a correction from our previous announcement.  We have a different guest and topic than previously announced joining us for this Brown Bag Lunch. Please see this, the adjusted announcement.

Please join us for our next Brown Bag Lunch happening Monday, April 27, from 12:30-1:30 PM in the Collaboratorium (IRIC 352).

In this Sketch Your Proposal (SYP) style session, we will be joined by Yesol Sapozhnikov when she will present: Investigating risk factors of antibiotic-resistant infections with machine learning approaches.

The rise of antibiotic-resistant infections is a dire public health threat. While bacterial genetics and antimicrobial stewardship have been studied extensively, far less is known about individual risk factors such as lifestyle and social determinants of health. In this project, we explore two machine learning methods — elastic net regression and CatBoost — to discover risk factors of antibiotic-resistant infections from high-dimensional health data from the All of Us Research Program.

We are very excited to host Yesol and do hope you can attend and help the IMCI community get some ideas on the board. We’ll push out another reminder just before on Monday. Until then, have an AMAZING WEEKEND, and we’ll hope to see you there!
