AI for Scientific Discovery

Dr. Hylke C. Donker is a researcher in Machine Learning and Medical Statistics at the University at the Department of Epidemiology. Originally trained as a theoretical physicist (PhD), his work now centers around theory and application of probabilistic artificial intelligence (AI) to solve complex medical challenges. His research spans a broad range of clinical domains, including lung cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome, and primary care. Hylke is particularly interested in using advanced probabilistic models to integrate multi-omics and clinical data, believing that robust, interpretable AI is essential to unlocking the secrets of disease and delivering precision medicine to the patient.
