In our observational studies, we have investigated how different biomarkers relate to each other over time, and how they associate to diseases and drug treatments. Using large data sets including genotypes and Swedish national registers, we apply causal inference methods to provide stronger causal evidence.

This seminar will present results from two studies on disparities in healthy life expectancy among older Americans. In the first, we analyzed the health and economic well-being of five cohorts of Americans in their mid-fifties between 1994 and 2018, focusing on the middle of the economic distribution. Using a dynamic microsimulation based on the Health and Retirement Study, we simulated their future life-course, including estimating health-quality-adjusted life expectancy (QALE). We found QALE for the upper-middle income group had increased between cohorts, but it stagnated for their lower-middle peers. Economic outcomes followed similar patterns. The results suggest the relatively neglected “forgotten middle” group of near-retirees may require stronger supports than are currently available to them. In the second study, we similarly used a microsimulation to estimate QALE at age 60 for rural and urban Americans. We found substantial disparities in QALE for rural men relative to their urban counterparts, with much smaller differences for women, and these gaps had grown larger over time. Counterfactual scenarios suggested eliminating smoking and managing obesity and prevalent heart conditions would be particularly beneficial for increasing rural QALE and reducing this urban-rural gap. However, the results suggested interventions earlier in life might be needed to fully address the urban-rural disparity in QALE at older ages. The seminar will conclude with a brief overview of some future research efforts to identify solutions to these challenges.

This interdisciplinary event is set to explore the evolving relationship between the scientific and artistic communities, highlighting the profound and symbiotic connection that has flourished over centuries and continues to transform with the advent of AI technologies. The symposium will include three sessions titled "Art Meets Science", "Visualizing Medicine", and "Pushing Boundaries", followed by a panel discussion on "Navigating the Future: Art, Science, and AI." The one-day event will end with a networking reception accompanied by an exhibition viewing of works related to the symposium’s themes, offering further opportunities for discussion and connection.  The symposium warmly welcomes Columbia faculty, staff, postdocs, and students, and the public, promising a day filled with learning, inspiration, and unparalleled opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration. Attendance is free and available on a first-come, first-served basis, contingent upon registration. Join us as we embark on this exciting exploration of the dynamic interplay between science, art, and technology.
