SUMMARY:Regulators\, Rent Seekers and Revolutionaries: What Every Startup Needs to Know About Regulated Markets
DESCRIPTION:Regulators\, Rent Seekers\, and Revolutionaries: What Every Startup Needs to Know About Regulated Markets\nTo survive as a startup looking to disrupt existing businesses in a regulated market\, you need a strategy to beat the vested interests who want to put a chokehold on innovation. \n \nJoin Evan Burfield\, author of Regulatory Hacking; and Bradley Tusk\, author of The Fixer; along with Columbia Senior Fellow for Entrepreneurship Steve Blank. Together they’ll look at what regulated markets are\, how they work\, and how startup founders can devise a strategy for disrupting them. \nMansueto Ventures CEO\, Eric Schurenberg and Columbia SIPA Professor\, Sarah Holloway\nThe conversation will be introduced by SIPA Professor\, Sarah Holloway and moderated by Eric Schurenberg\, CEO of Mansueto Ventures who oversees the operations of both Inc. and Fast Company. \n(L to R) Steve Blank\, Bradley Tusk author of The Fixer\, and Regulatory Hacking author Evan Burfield\nEvan Burfield is the author of Regulatory Hacking\, published by Portfolio | Penguin and named by Inc. Magazine as one of the 10 Best Business Books of 2018. Evan is a General Partner of 1776 Ventures and the cofounder of the 1776 incubator network\, where he works with startups in education\, health\, energy\, transportation\, food\, and financial services. As an angel investor and venture capitalist\, Evan has invested in more than 40 startups with world changing ideas\, from Silicon Valley to Nairobi. Evan received a First Class degree in Philosophy\, Politics\, and Economics from the University of Oxford. \nEntrepreneur-turned-educator Steve Blank is the Father of Modern Entrepreneurship. Credited with launching the Lean Startup movement\, he’s changed how startups are built; how entrepreneurship is taught; how science is commercialized\, and how companies and the government innovate. Steve is the author of The Four Steps to the Epiphany\, The Startup Owner’s Manual — and his May 2013 Harvard Business Review cover story defined the Lean Startup movement. He teaches at Stanford\, Columbia and Berkeley; and created the National Science Foundation Innovation Corps — now the standard for science commercialization in the U.S. His Hacking for Defense class at Stanford is revolutionizing how the U.S. defense and intelligence community can deploy innovation with speed and urgency\, and its sister class\, Hacking for Diplomacy\, is doing the same for foreign affairs challenges managed by the U.S. State Department.

SUMMARY:Learning Engines for Healthcare: Using Machine Learning to Transform Clinical Practice and Discovery
DESCRIPTION:OPEN TO ALL COLUMBIANS\n\nLecture in Precision Medicine: Mihaela van der Schaar\n\n\n \n“Learning Engines for Healthcare: Using Machine Learning to Transform Clinical Practice and Discovery” \n \nProf. Mihaela van der Schaar\, John Humphrey Plummer Professor of Machine Learning\, Artificial Intelligence and Medicine\, University of Cambridge  \n \nJanuary 29\, 2019\n\n1:00PM – 2:00PM\nWilliam Black Building\, Alumni Auditorium\, \n650 W. 168th Street\, New York\, NY 10032\n\n\nProfessor van der Schaar is John Humphrey Plummer Professor of Machine Learning\, Artificial Intelligence and Medicine at the University of Cambridge and a Turing Faculty Fellow at The Alan Turing Institute in London\, where she leads the effort on data science and machine learning for personalized medicine. Prior to this\, she was a Chancellor’s Professor at UCLA and MAN Professor of Quantitative Finance at University of Oxford. She is an IEEE Fellow (2009). She has received the Oon Prize on Preventative Medicine from the University of Cambridge (2018). She has also been the recipient of an NSF Career Award\, 3 IBM Faculty Awards\, the IBM Exploratory Stream Analytics Innovation Award\, the Philips Make a Difference Award and several best paper awards\, including the IEEE Darlington Award. She holds 33 granted USA patents. Her current research focus is on data science and machine learning for medicine and education.\n\nThe overarching goal of her research is to develop cutting-edge machine learning\, AI and operations research theory\, methods\, algorithms and systems to understand the basis of health and disease; develop methodology to catalyze clinical research; support clinical decisions through individualized medicine; inform clinical pathways\, better utilize resources & reduce costs; and inform public health.\n\nTo do this\, she is creating what she call Learning Engines for Healthcare (LEH’s). An LEH is an integrated ecosystem that uses machine learning\, AI and operations research to provide clinical insights and healthcare intelligence to all the stakeholders (patients\, clinicians\, hospitals\, administrators). In contrast to an Electronic Health Record\, which provides a static\, passive\, isolated display of information\, an LEH provides dynamic\, active\, holistic & individualized display of information including alerts.
