Here, we will leverage the UW’s population health cohort called SHOW/REACH, which includes ~6,000 participants and covers the demographics of the state. Dr. Denu has collaborated with SHOW and has obtained blood and gut microbiome samples (~200 participants) as part of an add-on study. The microbiome samples have been analyzed for bacterial community composition, and the blood samples are currently being analyzed for serum metabolites (metabolome) and for proteomics within blood immune cells (PBMCs). Samples (serum and stool) from these same participants were taken 2-3 years earlier, offering opportunities to assess longitudinal data. These same participants were analyzed for genetic variations (SNPs determined) and epigenomic differences (DNA methylation). In addition, soil samples from around their homes and dust samples within their homes were collected for subsequent analysis of environmental toxins and microbes. Importantly, typical blood chemistry panels were taken, and each participant completed an extensive survey that captured key information about diet, medicines and anti-biotics, and well-being assessments to name a few. Collectively, these data sets offer an unparalleled deep view of each individual. Where possible, the entire ~6,000 participant data will be utilized to assess models. Here, using AI/ML and other computational methods, the Distinguished Research Fellow will integrate and analyze these data to develop predictive models for pre-diabetes and metabolic syndrome, well-being scores, and biological age. The Fellow will develop and apply unsupervised methods to identify participant groups with distinct health phenotypes, and will develop and apply supervised approaches to classify and predict phenotypes. Additionally, the Fellow will use explainable AI methods to identify the variables and their interactions that contribute the most to distinguish the different participant classes. In all the above analyses, the Fellow will strive to elucidate the biological and biochemical basis for why selected features are predictive of outcomes. This will require advanced computational approaches and an understanding of biological connectedness of the various measurements. With this new insight, the Fellow will work to improve predictions by developing new ML/AI methods to suggest what new prospective measurements would validate mechanism and improve the accuracy of the overall model. Lastly, the Fellow can employ the learned model and use ML/AI to hypothesize intervention strategies that would improve individual health outcomes. |
