Registration is open for the Great Plains IDeA-CTR Annual Scientific Meeting, “Digital Health and the Exposome.” The meeting will take place Oct. 16-17; it is sponsored by the NIH-funded Great Plains IDeA-Clinical Translational Research Network as part of its 7th annual meeting.
Registration for the hybrid event is free and open to all UNMC faculty, staff and students interested in translational research, as well as outside partners and the general public. In-person events will be held at the Truhlsen Events Center at UNMC.
The two-day event will kick off with a keynote address from Linda Ng Boyle, PhD, vice dean for research and professor of civil and urban engineering, Tandon School of Engineering, New York University, on pedestrian-vehicle interactions using on-road and wearable technology.
Presentations will span digital health, including natural language processing of patient information to assist clinical decision-making and treatment recommendations, as well as how to use artificial intelligence to integrate multi-source data streams to enable triangulation on patient and population health and the exposome.
A panel presentation will discuss best practices for curating interdisciplinary teams to advance health outcomes through team science. Day two will feature an interactive networking session focused on fostering interdisciplinary collaborations across clinical and translational research topics.
The event again will feature the popular CTR Superstar competition, aimed at raising awareness of CTR being done by promising scholars who are developing innovative tools for health care applications. The prize winner will receive a $35,000 award for cutting-edge research that may translate great ideas to market and federal support. Competitors will present their work to a panel of experts, and the winner will be announced during the meeting.
The annual scientific meeting brings together scientific investigators spanning basic, translational and clinical work, university and college educators, administrators, health care professionals, public health experts and more.
