As we continue to push the limits of transplantation\, with the older age and complex comorbidities of candidates\, there are many challenges t hroughout transplant medicine that must be better addressed. Various facto rs affect liver transplant pathology and outcomes\, including sex\, ethnic ity\, genetics\, BMI\, diabetes\, and immunosuppressive regimens. There ex ist complex\, non-linear patterns in laboratory tests that must be conside red in conjunction with the complex clinical variables to predict outcome. Additionally\, electronic health record data\, imaging technologies\, his tology\, and ‘omics data have continued to expand the types of data avai lable. These complex data points\, their hidden patterns and interrelation ships can be uniquely leveraged with the use of AI tools. Longitudinal cha nges in these variables are also being examined to provide a continuous re assessment of risk along the timeline. Applications of AI in transplant me dicine include waitlist prioritization\, donor-recipient matching\, and sh ort-term/long-term outcome prediction. In this talk\, I will go over these considerations with respect to application of AI in transplant medicine. I will additionally discuss integration of ‘omics data\, as well as pers pectives regarding clinical deployment of AI tools.\n\nShort Biography:\n\ nDr. Mamatha Bhat is a Hepatologist and leads the Transplant AI initiative at the University Health Network's Ajmera Transplant Centre\, and Associa te Professor of Medicine at the University of Toronto. Dr. Bhat completed her medical school and residency training at McGill University. She then c ompleted a Transplant Hepatology fellowship at the Mayo Clinic in Rocheste r\, Minnesota\, followed by a Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR ) Fellowship for Health Professionals\, through which she completed a PhD. \n\nThe goal of Dr. Bhat’s research program is to improve long-term outc omes of liver transplantation through a precision medicine approach. Her p rogram is unique in using tools of Artificial Intelligence with bioinforma tics to personalize the care of liver transplant recipients based on an im proved biological understanding of the liver and disease after transplant. Her interdisciplinary program has been supported by the Canadian Institut es for Health Research (CIHR)\, Canadian Donation and Transplant Research Program (CDTRP)\, Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC )\, Canadian Liver Foundation (CLF)\, among others. Dr. Bhat is Partnershi p &\; Engagement Lead for the Temerty Centre for AI Research and Educat ion in Medicine (T-CAIREM)\, Chair of the International Liver Transplant S ociety Basic and Translational Science Research committee\; on the Executi ve committee of the CDTRP\, and an Associate Editor for the American Journ al of Transplantation. Dr. Bhat has also been the recipient of recognition s such as the 2022 CIHR-INMD-CASL Early Career Researcher prize\, CASL Res earch Excellence award and the 2021 American Society of Transplantation Ba sic Science Career Development Award.\n\n\n\nALL ARE WELCOME CATEGORIES:Events,Talks END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Asia/Kolkata X-LIC-LOCATION:Asia/Kolkata BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20230322T113000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0530 TZOFFSETTO:+0530 TZNAME:IST END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
