Keynote Speakers

Leo Celi

Leo Celi
Principal Research Scientist, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Leo Anthony Celi MD, MS, MPH is Clinical Research Director and Senior Research Scientist at the Laboratory for Computational Physiology at MIT and a practicing intensivist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. Dr. Celi’s work focuses on scaling clinical research to be more inclusive through open access data and software, particularly for limited resource settings; identifying bias in the data to prevent them from being encrypted in models and algorithms; and redesigning research using the principles of team science and the hive learning strategy.

Dr. Celi completed his medical degree at the University of the Philippines, followed by postgraduate training in internal medicine, critical care medicine, infectious disease, and biomedical informatics at Cleveland Clinic, Harvard, Stanford, and MIT. He has published numerous papers in machine learning, not only in critical care medicine, but across different specialties including ophthalmology, radiology, surgery, nursing, and bioethics.

Colleen Flood

Alistair Johnson

Alistair Johnson
T-CAIREM Infrastructure Co-lead Scientist, Hospital for Sick Children

Alistair Johnson DPhil is a Scientist at the Hospital for Sick Children and was most recently the T-CAIREM Infrastructure Co-Lead. He received his Bachelor of Biomedical and Electrical Engineering at McMaster University and successfully read for a DPhil at the University of Oxford. Dr. Johnson has worked in machine learning and healthcare for over a decade. Dr. Johnson has strived to overcome barriers to data access, and his work on MIMIC-III demonstrates the immense potential of publicly available data. His research focuses on enabling healthcare research, including the development of new database structures tailored for healthcare, algorithms for de-identification of rich clinical data, and tools for assessing data quality.
