Top poster EASL Education! Data for #HBV from a large UK consortium using #machinelearning to predict outcomes and HBsAg loss: age, viral load, ethnicity, coinfection, deprivation all significant. NIHR Research Nuffield Department of Medicine Ellie Barnes 🚵‍♀️ Tina Wang #EASL2024 #livertwitter

In KwaZulu Natal we find high prevalence of #HBV infection & exposure, & low prevelance of vaccine-mediated immunity. More data needed to represent WHO African Region populations, & to tackle this public health crisis. Africa Health Research Institute The Crick EASLnews #EASL2024 #LiverTwitter Africa CDC 🇿🇦

This year we celebrate the GSA's 10-year anniversary!🎂🪇🥳 Take a look at our activities towards eliminating #schistosomiasis in 2023 & what we're planning in 2024 and beyond. eliminateschisto.org/resources/gsa-… #BeatNTDs #NoToNTDs

GSA member Goylette Chami shares her work at the 7th SRS🇨🇳 on the role of #MachineLearning in #Schistosomiasis control, the SchistoTrack Cohort study & the considerations for ML in surveillance-response systems to #BeatNTDs

'Machine learning is a valuable tool for #HealthWorkers and clinicians. Data is multimodal, highly dimensional and temporal - #MachineLearning needs to be tailored so that it collaborates well with the clinician.' Goylette Chami Oxford Population Health (OxPop) at the 7th SRS in Shanghai 🇨🇳

Honoured to be invited to give a keynote address today at the 7th SRS hosted by the China CDC. Discussing the future of machine learning for schistosomiasis & co-endemic tropical diseases! Making many new connections to excellent researchers in E. Asia

Truly delighted to receive this prestigious honour - thanks to all friends and colleagues who have shared the journey! #schistosomiasis #BeatNTDs
