The 7th Annual Translational and Transformative Informatics Symposium, hosted by the Department of Biomedical Informatics and Data Science and the Center for Clinical and Translational Sciences (CCTS), centered around the theme of “Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Medicine and Healthcare”.

ATTIS 2023 attracted more than 250 registered attendees from 30 universities and other organizations, and was held both in person at the Margaret Cameron Spain Auditorium on the campus of the University of Alabama at Birmingham and online over Zoom. Recent advancements in AI technology are now being utilized as part of biomedical research, patient data analysis, and personalized treatment, leading to faster drug discovery and accurate diagnosis. With these new developments, AI has the potential to improve patient flow, reduce medical errors, increase management efficiency, and enable telemedicine, making healthcare services more accessible to patients from the comfort of their homes.

Speakers provided presentations focusing on critical aspects of artificial intelligence in medicine, including: the application of learning models predicting responses to chemotherapy in breast cancer patients, the integration of AI within antiviral drug discovery, precision medicine’s implementation of AI to its research, the role of AI in medical imaging as it relates to radiogenomics, and the analysis of sequencing data via auto encoder.

ATTIS will serve as a crucial technical and scientific forum for UAB and UAB-led CCTS participants to learn about recent advances, network with colleagues and trainees, while enhancing future research, training, and application in this critical scientific area.
