We are pleased to announce the Engineering in Medicine Pilot Funding Program in collaboration with Purdue University College of Engineering and Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM). We encourage you to attend our joint symposium (co-sponsored by CTSI) in Indianapolis on May 9 (registration deadline of April 25) to connect with potential IUSM collaborators.  Information about the symposium and agenda are below.  Note that the symposium start time is aligned with the free Purdue shuttle, and reservations can be made online to ensure a seat. Please contact Craig Goergen (cgoergen@purdue.edu) with any questions. Proposals are due May 16th, 2025.

Join us for an exciting interdisciplinary event exploring the intersection of machine learning and medicine. This collaborative gathering will bring together experts from the Indiana CTSI, Engineering-Medicine PEI, and the broader IU School of Medicine and Purdue College of Engineering communities to discuss advancements, challenges, and future directions in applying AI and machine learning to medical research and healthcare.
