Strohmer awarded $1.2 million for data science in health
Together with two UC Davis Health PIs--Racheael Callcut, professor of surgery and chief research informatics officer, and Jason Adams, associate professor and physician of pulmonary, critical care and sleep--Thomas Strohmer was awarded a $1.2 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The grant aims to fund the generation of high-quality synthetic data using artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) to potentially help physicians predict, diagnose and treat diseases. The Center for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (CEDAR) at UC Davis, launched in 2019 by Thomas Strohmer, promotes interdisciplinary research. The results are beginning to show. Congratulations Thomas!
