Michael Moor
Hi there! I’m a MD, PhD who is excited about machine learning in healthcare. This Fall, I started my appointment as tenure-track assistant professor for medical AI at ETH Zurich, located in Basel. Previously, I did a postdoc at Stanford University in the Computer Science department with Prof. Jure Leskovec. My research focuses on developing large-scale medical foundation models, with the ultimate vision to unlock generalist models for medical AI.
News
- 2024-02-02: It was a great honor to be invited to talk at the NASA Ames Research Center!
- 2024-01-25: Excited to see our paper on retrieval-augmented language models for medicine published in NEJM AI!
- 2024-01-20: Looking forward to give a keynote presentation at the Basel Healthtech Conference 2024!
- 2023-10-05: Delighted to announce that our paper Zero-shot causal learning got accepted to NeurIPS 2023 as a Spotlight! We developed a framework for meta-learning treatment effects across thousands of drugs and millions of patients to unlock a new capability: predicting personalized treatment effects zero-shot, i.e. without ever having observed the intervention before (e.g., a novel drug). Check out the thread.
- 2023-07-27: Excited to announce Med-Flamingo, a multimodal medical few-shot learner! Stoked to see our thread to reach >200k impressions! Furthermore, the paper got covered by Huggingface Daily Papers and the medical AI newsletter Dr. Penguin!
