Yale School of Medicine - For Humanity: Biomedical Data Science Pillar

December 19, 2023
  • 00:03As creative leaders in medicine and science,
  • 00:05we constantly push boundaries to advance
  • 00:07medicine for the benefit of humanity.
  • 00:09We're tapping into the limitless
  • 00:10possibilities of biomedical data science,
  • 00:12mining it to diagnose and treat
  • 00:14all manner of health issues.
  • 00:15We're at a juncture in history. Things
  • 00:17are about to change.
  • 00:18I say that medicine is now
  • 00:20an information science,
  • 00:21and at the Yale School of Medicine,
  • 00:24we're leading the way.
  • 00:25We can bring together data in ways
  • 00:27that we could never do before,
  • 00:29and it drives actionable information
  • 00:31that we're able to put on the
  • 00:33front lines of healthcare.
  • 00:34And see it applied for the
  • 00:36benefit of individual patients
  • 00:37and for populations.
  • 00:38Visualize
  • 00:38data is not just about genetics,
  • 00:40It's about social determinants of health.
  • 00:42It's about access to care.
  • 00:44It's about exposures that you
  • 00:46had and fortunately we're able
  • 00:48to capture those much better.
  • 00:49Now we're also recognizing that there
  • 00:51are issues around the quality of
  • 00:53care that we can apply this new
  • 00:56aged information science to ensure
  • 00:58each person gets the right treatment
  • 01:00at the right time in the right
  • 01:02way for who they are getting to
  • 01:04that real precision medicine we
  • 01:06want to be on the discovery side.
  • 01:08In that high risk,
  • 01:10high reward activities,
  • 01:11and those are currently in the
  • 01:13funding environment not done
  • 01:15through federal or state agencies.
  • 01:17This is where academia has an
  • 01:19advantage. It has the freedom to inquire.
  • 01:22It has the interdisciplinary to collaborate.
  • 01:24It has the students to infuse
  • 01:26creativity and enthusiasm,
  • 01:28and it has our mission to make
  • 01:30impact on the lives of individuals.
  • 01:33We're doing this because we want to make
  • 01:36a difference. Learn
  • 01:37how your gift can help define the
  • 01:40future of biomedical data science.
