Are you interested in pushing the limits of what population health "foundation model" could be used for? Would you like to study privacy and fairness of generative models that are trained on sensitive health data? Or combine this with your own ideas? Two weeks left to apply to this PhD position 👇

You know those really annoying but really niche tasks? Like ordering a long author list and correctly numbering each affiliation and linking them to correct author to produce the final "authors and affiliations" block in a paper. I never intent to do this manually again: github.com/hartonen/mak...

A new blog post 💡 Generative AI trained on 100M+ real health trajectories?! 🤖 open.substack.com/pub/tuomohar... I am experimenting with this "short review" format where I aim at highlighting just a couple of quick point from an interesting paper. Let me know how it works!

Short review: "Generative Medical Event Models Improve with Scale."
This is my first try on this “short review” format.

Are electronic health records (EHR) more predictive of disease onset than polygenic scores? Can we transfer EHR-based prediction models between countries? Our study on these questions using 3 biobank-based studies with N>845K, is out in @natgenet.nature.com today: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I started an experiment: a blog in substack! My idea is to mainly post short reviews about interesting papers at the interface of AI and health sciences, but also stuff related to other aspects of science life. The first post actually is of the latter category 👇 open.substack.com/pub/tuomohar...

Did you know that some genetic males have plasma proteomes similar to those of genetic females and vice versa? What are the consequences of this? Come discuss with me at our poster number P18.021.D on Monday 26.5. at 4pm-5pm at #ESHG2025

It is time to try how travelling to conferences without flying works when you live in the "far north". The first leg is from Helsinki to Copenhagen, where I will be attending the Genomic Mechanisms of Disease conference. From there I will continue to Milan for #ESHG2025 . A thread follows 🧵 1/n

Contrary to popular belief, what is important in science is as much its spirit as its product: it is as much the openmindedness, the primacy of criticism, the submission to the unforeseen, however upsetting, as the result, however new that may be. – Francois Jacob www.nature.com/articles/s41...
