The AI at VP&S Initiative presents:
Foundation Models Across Scales: From Cells to Health Systems
Foundation models are rapidly transforming biomedical research and healthcare delivery. From decoding molecular data to predicting clinical trajectories, they enable scientists to analyze complex, multi-scale datasets and uncover patterns that were previously inaccessible. The AI at the Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons (AI@VP&S) Initiative at Columbia University Irving Medical Center is hosting a two-day workshop to explore the development and growing role of these models in advancing digital health and biomedicine. The event will feature applications spanning the full spectrum of biomedical data, from cellular and molecular biology, to electronic health records and real-world signals from wearable devices and self-tracking technologies.
As foundation models continue to evolve, this workshop offers a timely opportunity to engage with emerging ideas and help shape the direction of this rapidly advancing field. Through a dynamic mix of presentations, discussions, and networking, participants will gain insights into cutting-edge research and real-world applications, while contributing to critical conversations about the future of AI in biomedicine and healthcare. We invite you to join us for two days of discovery and meaningful exchange at the intersection of science, technology, and health.
