This week, I worked on annotating abdominal MRIs as part of my clinical mentor's research. I also attended a talk on "Disruptive Research for Women's Health" by Dr. Denise Howard. I found the talk very insightful as my research in Ithaca is based on point of care devices for women's health. I got a few ideas on how to progress with my research after that talk.
For my lung cancer project, I worked on developing the code for Table 1 of the paper. This table includes baseline characteristics of the study cohort as well as parameters used in the PLCO model. Next week, I will be working with Dr. Choi on running the PLCO model on our data as well as constructing a new model based on the incidence of lung cancer by state in India. This week was a good insight into areas of improvement for my coding skills in R. I am hoping that I will be able to achieve this goal through the course of the lung cancer project.
