Topic: Studying Neural Networks for Disease End Point Prediction- Worked as a research student, focusing on investigating neural network architectures aimed at predicting disease progression and patient outcomes.- Given the tabular structure of electronic health record (EHR) data, our primary emphasis was on exploring the potential of neural networks to enhance the effectiveness of conventional clinical predictive models currently in practice.- Furthermore, expanded the research on Explainable AI (XAI) that originated during the internship. Implemented Counterfactual Explanations to delve into the inner workings of black box neural networks.

Intern at Global Biostatistics and Data Science (GBDS)- Worked independently on a project that focused on investigating methodologies to assess eligibility criteria for clinical trials in oncology. The objective was to tackle the problem of excessively restrictive clinical trials that prevent a greater number of patients from accessing life-saving treatments.- Thoroughly evaluated and refined methodologies derived from existing research to conduct simulations on 10 Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs) using real-world data sourced from a broader patient population after treatments were approved.- Leveraged the SHAP (Shapley Additive Explanations) method to demonstrate the feasibility of removing a significant portion of the eligibility criteria without compromising the trial outcomes, thereby highlighting the practical applications of Explainable AI (XAI).
