Northwestern Medicine Healthcare AI Forum: Using Artificial Intelligence to Spot Opportunities for Researchers and Funders

Friday, November 20, 2026 | 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM CT

Welcome to the Northwestern Medicine Healthcare AI Forum, where we dive into cutting-edge developments in the field of AI for healthcare. We present the latest published research and technology innovation, and facilitate open discussion among attendees.

Using Artificial Intelligence to Spot Opportunities for Researchers and Funders
Thomas Stoeger, PhD
Chief Scientist, CoPAIR

This talk focuses exclusively on Thomas Stoeger's work as a postdoctoral fellow and assistant professor at Northwestern University. Thomas is passionate about using artificial intelligence to surface biomedical research opportunities beyond the well-trodden paths of science.

Key publications discussed in the talk:
--Large-scale investigation of the reasons why potentially important genes are ignored
--Meta-Research: Understudied genes are lost in a leaky pipeline between genome-wide assays and reporting of results
--A digital archive reveals how a funding agency cooperated with academics to support the nascent field of genomics

 

Open to Northwestern Medicine professionals and the broader research and patient community within Northwestern University and beyond, the AI Forum's mission is to establish a thriving healthcare AI ecosystem that fosters collaboration and supports a network of dedicated scholars and professionals. We are here to promote research, innovation and leadership while facilitating the seamless translation of AI advancements into the realm of biomedicine.

The AI Forum is hosted by the Institute for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine. Webinars take place remotely via Zoom on the third Friday of each month, 10-11am CT.
