This recurrent event features informal invited and proffered talks from researchers in both risk science and personalized medicine, highlighting collaborations between medical researchers and risk and data scientists.
Risk in Medicine: Patient Counselling in the Digital Age
We are planning a two-day event, possibly in early February, consisting of six mini-workshops on
- Risk communication and patient counselling under uncertainty
- Diagnostics and medical algorithms
- Robotics and prosthetics
- Personalized medicine: working with small data sets in a big data world
- Medical imaging
- Pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PBPK).
1st Annual Risk in Medicine convocation
The Liverpool Institute for Risk and Uncertainty plans to expand its scope into applications in medicine and allied fields. Toward that end, we held an informal convocation with researchers in the Liverpool Student Guild and others within the Institute for Translational Medicine. The workshop was held in the grand and spacious Mandela Room in the Liverpool Student Guild on the morning of 2 October 2017, and included select informal talks from researchers in both risk science and personalized medicine, poster presentations about existing projects and ideas, and general open discussion about possible interactions between risk and medical researchers. The event was open to Liverpool students.
