Duke-NUS AI + Medical Sciences Initiative (DAISI)

DAISI is an initiative that connects AI and data science specialists with clinicians to address significant clinical problems through the application of AI. Leveraging on the technical expertise from Centre for Quantitative Medicine (CQM), Centre for Computational Biology (CCB), Duke AI Health, Duke Department of Biostatistics & Bioinformatics and beyond, our mission includes promoting cutting-edge data science, addressing health AI implementation, advocating AI governance and ethics, and establishing a multidisciplinary and multinational program on AI for medical sciences.

At the forefront of technical advancements, DAISI researchers stand as pioneers in AI and data science applications. Renowned on an international scale, our team comprises experts with a wealth of knowledge and experience, particularly in the fields of biomedicine and healthcare. The diverse expertise allows us to explore an extensive array of research projects, ranging from cellular data science and immunology to quantum computing, and to interpretable, trustworthy and ethical AI.

In our pursuit of innovation, DAISI places a strong emphasis on the development of novel methodologies that push the boundaries of what is currently possible. Equally important, DAISI is dedicated to bridging the gap between novel research and practical, real-world applications. We recognize the significance of translating our findings into tangible solutions that can make a meaningful impact in healthcare. By maintaining a focus on the intersection of methodological development and clinical relevance, we ensure that our research not only contributes to the academic discourse but also addresses the pressing challenges faced by healthcare professionals and the broader community.
