Congratulations to Sylvia on leading the Biomedical Data Science department for the past five years. With her strong leadership, direction, and guidance, DBDS is poised to become the leader in the AI/precision healthcare revolution. Sylvia has led the charge for DBDSand has reached milestones in research, discovery, increased grants, and growth with faculty and staff, proving itself to be one of the strongest departments in the School of Medicine. She is tireless, devoted and determined, working incessantly to propel our department to a position of eminence in the biomedical data science field. She is both a visionary and luminary; we could not ask for a more skilled pilot to chart the course for DBDS’ current and future success.

Leaders of Stanford Medicine discuss artificial intelligence in health and medicine; its usefulness in research, education and patient care; and how to responsibly integrate the technology. Read it here: https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2024/03/stanford–medicine-live.html
Understanding the genetic factors that underlie the normal variation in cardiac anatomy is of great interest. In this study, Rodrigo Bonazzola et al. applied unsupervised geometric deep learning to phenotype the left ventricle using an MRI-derived three-dimensional mesh representation (as depicted on the cover). We show that this approach boosts genetic discovery and provides deeper insights into the genetic underpinnings of cardiac morphology.
