Affectionally called “Caregiver Bootcamp,” this is a monthly workshop for Neuro-Oncology caregivers to understand how to access important “concrete” services that your loved ones may need throughout the treatment journey. We will discuss important topics such as transportation, enrolling in Medicaid, advance care planning, as well as managing the emotional burden of caregiving.

In the Basic Distribution Training, we teach users how to create web pages, news items, announcements, alerts, FAQ, and other basic content. We describe in detail how to format text, add images, create galleries, write hyperlinks, add redirects, and arrange menu items. The training includes information on creating support requests through JIRA.

The Herbert and Florence Irving Institute for Cancer Dynamics will continue its seminar series on the topic of mathematical sciences underpinning cancer research during the 2022-2023 academic year. The monthly seminars take place on the second Wednesday of the month, 2:00-3:00 PM EST. The presentations are open to the Columbia community (in person and online) and to researchers outside Columbia (via Zoom). On Wednesday, January 10th (2:00 PM ET), IICD welcomes Fabian Theis, PhD, Director of the Computational Health Center, Director of the Institute for Computational Biology, Helmholtz Munich, Technical University of Munich. Seminar hosted by Elham Azizi, PhD. The seminar will take place virtually. If you wish to attend the seminar, please register using the following link: https://columbiauniversity.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUtdOisqTMpHdddW9wtLHsLyAbe7wX3daTW Title: TBA Abstract: TBA Bio: Fabian Theis uses artificial intelligence to uncover the secrets of human cells. How do they interact and what's going wrong at the cellular level when someone falls ill? By using single-cell sequencing data, he and his team are able to model the variety of cells and their activities. Machine learning and deep learning are also used to help make predictions in biology and biomedicine. Fabian holds two Master's Degrees in Mathematics and Physics, as well as two Doctorates in Physics and Computer Science. Fabian’s career began as head of the research group “Signal Processing and Information Theory” at the Institute for Biophysics in Regensburg. As a Bernstein Fellow, he led a junior researcher group at the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization in Göttingen in 2006. One year later he became head of a task force at the Institute for Bioinformatics at Helmholtz Munich, and then after two years he was appointed Extracurricular Professor for Mathematics in System Biology at the Technical University of Munich. Fabian then served as a guest scientist at various international institutes, such as the Department of Architecture and Computer Technology of the University of Granada, Spain; the RIKEN Brain Science Institute in Wako, Japan; FAMU/FSU in Florida, USA; and TUAT’s Laboratory for Signal and Image Processing in Tokyo, Japan. Fabian now leads the Computational Health Center at Helmholtz Munich, where six institutes are researching the relationship between artificial intelligence and health. He also chairs the Mathematical Modeling of Biological Systems program at the Technical University of Munich.
