Michigan Medicine Podcast Features BME’s Anne Draelos
Dr. Anne Draelos highlights how A.I. and Bioinformatics can reveal hidden networks of the brain
Anne Draelos, Assistant Professor, Biomedical Engineering and Assistant Professor, Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics, is using A.I. and bioinformatics to reveal the hidden networks of the brain, and exploring how gaining this understanding could improve lives.
Dr. Draelos’ work was recently highlighted in an episode of The Fundamentals, a Michigan Medicine-produced podcast that focuses on biomedical research. In addition to discussing her collaborative efforts with several U-M researchers, Dr. Draelos detailed how neuroscience has been evolving, and possible future applications for the field.
“A lot of the work that my lab is currently focusing on in, hopefully maybe 10 years, is on this idea on using A.I. and machine learning to help custom-tune and adapt different kinds of decoders to an individual and across time,” she said. “I don’t think we’re going to solve all of this, not my lab, but I think it’s entirely possible that the field will solve more of this with greater access to data, better A.I. combining strategies, sharing more of the data. We will be able to build models that can continually evaluate how well they’re doing.”
