NIMH

Aim 1: Assess prospective performance of ACoR used as a standalone tool, as well as when combined with existing tools such as M-CHAT/F, when applied to children within the age of 18-26 months, typically around their two-year wellness check visits. Since the existing screening tools are questionnaire based while ACoR leverages subtle predictive patterns emerging in medical history, these tools are expected to be functionally independent, and may be combined resulting in substantial boost in performance. We will confirm these performance gains via a gold-standard confirmatory diagnosis (ADOS-2) following the ACoR and M-CHAT/F scoring. Patients recruited with informed consent will be all scored with M-CHAT/F, ACoR and ADSO-2 to estimate false positive and false negative rates.

 

Aim 2: Examine ACoR’s efficacy in a diverse population with socio-economic, demographic, and other co-founders, via a comprehensive interdisciplinary assessment. Additionally, we will collect data on familial socio-economic status (SES)34 and indicators for adverse childhood experiences (ACEs)35,36, measured by parent response to questions about children’s exposure to neighborhood violence, racial/ ethnic discrimination, income hardship, parental divorce, incarceration, death, domestic violence, substance abuse and mental illness. These data will be analyzed to estimate the impact of race, ethnicity, demographics, and other typical confounders on ACoR estimated risk, elucidating the impact of the proposed tool on health equity considerations, and the current lack of diagnostic parity across marginalized communities.

 

Aim 3: Determine how developmental and learning disorders such as intellectual delay impact ACoR performance. Within this aim we will determine comorbidities of motor, communicative, regulatory behavior, and adaptive skills among ACoR identified children with ASD compared to M-CHAT/F-positive children with and without ASD. We hypothesize that the frequency of delays in gross and fine motor skills, receptive and express language skills, verbal, and nonverbal cognitive skills, internalizing and externalizing regulatory and social behavior skills, and criterion specific adaptive skills (feeding, dressing, toilet learning, self-mobility, social interactions) will show interpretable trends associated with elevated ACoR score.

Aim 1: Validate ZCoR for flagging ILD, IPF and PrePF Prospectively In a Pragmatic Clinical Trial. Validate
ZCoR as a reliable primary-care screening tool for ILD/IPF. 

 

Aim 2: Performance in High Risk Cohorts Within this aim we plan to evaluate the applicability and
effectiveness of ZCoR in high risk cohorts, treated in participating pulmonary care clinics over the last 5 years.
This includes patients diagnosed with or in the diagnostic workup for suspected COPD or Lung Cancer, or
other relevant pulmonary disorders. 

 

Aim 3: Developing and Validating ZCoR Visual Risk-explainer (VisPF module) Enabling Drill-down well?
and AI-driven Predictors of Anti-fibrotic Treatment Responders Within this aim we plan to develop and
validate the capability for inspecting explanations for the AI estimated risk for individual patients, answering
“why” the AI estimated a patient to have high/low risk. This explanatory capability can shed new light on
IPF/ILD heterogeneity, and potentially identify new functional phenotypes, especially aiming to predict patient
phenotype that indicates favorable response to anti-fibrotics and other disease modifying therapy.

BioNORAD: Fast Scalable Pandemic Risk Assessment of Influenza A Strains Circulating In Non-human Hosts

Aim 1: Develop a platform powered by novel pattern discovery and recognition algorithms to automatically parse out emergent evolutionary constraints operating on Influenza A viruses in the wild, to provide a less-heuristic theory-backed scalable solution to emergence prediction. We plan to show that this capability enables preempting strains which are expected to be in future human circulation, and approximate IRAT scores of non-human strains without experimental assays or SME scoring, in second as opposed to weeks or months. Our approach automatically takes into account the time-sensitive variations in selection pressures as the background strain circulation changes over time, and will potentially be able to rank-order strains adapatively.


Aim 2: Validate our ability to predict future variations of viral proteins by showing that predicted variants of HA and NA fold correctly, and are functional, binding to the relevant human receptors in in-vivo laboratory experiments. Thus, bringing together rigorous data-driven modeling, and validation via tools from reverse genetics we plan to deliver an actionable and deployable platform that optimally exploits the current biosurvellance capacity.
