New analysis shows that removing race from lung function estimates would increase the number of Black patients diagnosed with serious disease bit.ly/4bLCpLL

I’m truly honoured to be a recipient of the mid-career assembly award!!

ATS PI-TB Assembly is at the forefront of scientific innovation in pulmonary infections and TB and not to mention an incredibly welcoming community. Looking forward to tackling more infectious challenges together!

Dr. Isaac Kohane (Isaac Kohane), professor and chair of the department of Biomedical Informatics at Harvard Medical School (@HarvardDBMI), says that generative AI is changing the lives of patients.

🧵 1/ What’s at stake with race-based equations for lung function? Clinical, occupational, and financial reclassifications for millions of patients.

I’m delighted to share this labor of love, published today in NEJM and unveiled at #ATS2024 .

In 2020, James Diao and I began studying race adjustment in lung-function equations. With amazing coauthors, today we published the past years of work in NEJM, estimating the many clinical, financial, and occupational implications. #ATS2024

Presented at #ATS2024 :

A study assessed the clinical, occupational, and financial effects associated with changing from race-based to race-neutral equations for the interpretation of lung function on millions of patients. Full study results: nej.md/44K5TaC

1/n It was exciting to explore new coding synergies at the #scverse hackathon in Boston this April, hosted by the HIDIVE Lab (Harvard Medical School DBMI at Harvard Med Nils Gehlenborg) and Abdennur Lab (@UMassChan UMass Chan Genomics and Computational Biology Nezar Abdennur). Here is what we worked on! 🧵
