Foundations of AI in Healthcare I |
Robert L. Davis |
| Time:Place:Duration:
|
Credit:3 |
| This course introduces the basic machine learning paradigms. Students will participate in a two hour journal club-style discussion of historical and topical literature on a particular learning paradigm every other week. The following week, a seminar on current research in the previous week’s topic will be presented. Mid-term, in consultation with the instructor, the students will identify a biomedical/healthcare area of interest that may benefit from the application of AI/ML. The course culminates with the students submitting a literature review on that outlines the deficits in the knowledge on the topic that could addressed by AI/ML. (hybrid, lecture seminar)

Integrative Genetics |
Byron C. Jones |
| Time:T-Th 0830-1000Place:TSRB 100Duration:32 X 1.5h |
Credit:3 |
| This is a proseminar course to provide basic knowledge of classical, quantitative and modern molecular genetics. We expect that not all of the students entering the GGI graduate program will be equally versed in the various sub-disciplines, so this course can be considered to be “leveling.” (didactic, lecture)

| Each year, UTHSC, U of Memphis and the University of Kentucky sponsor a 2-1/2 day program in bioinformatics in retreat off campus. All GGI Ph.D. students will be required to attend each year for their first two years and highly encouraged and supported each year thereafter. Organizers of the summit invite speakers in key and emerging areas of genetics, genomics and bioinformatics. Following the summit, the GGI Department will hold a debriefing and each student attending for credit will be required to present a seminar paper on two topics discussed. (didactic, seminar)
