Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai will share the latest research on how the environment affects health. Through this webinar series, we aim to translate our science to empower families and communities to understand the science and make the lifestyle changes that matter most.
Mapping Your Environmental Exposures: New AI and Machine Learning Tools for Better Health
Wednesday, Sept 25, 2024 at 1pm EST
Itai Kloog, PhD, Professor, Department of Environmental Medicine and Climate Science, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
in conversation with
Perry Sheffield, MD, MPH, Professor, Departments of Environmental Medicine and Climate Science, and Pediatrics, Icahn Mount Sinai
This 45-minute webinar will feature a presentation by Itai Kloog, PhD, a leading expert in environmental health and geo-statistical modeling. Dr. Kloog will discuss how new AI and machine learning models that he has developed are being used to study environmental exposures, like air pollution and temperature extremes, and their impact on public health. Perry Sheffield, MD, MPH, an environmental pediatrician and researcher, will connect these advanced methods to clinical practice and community health. This session will be of interest to a general audience interested in the intersection of climate, health, and AI.
