About this listen
In this episode of VALIANT Pulse, we feature the dissertation work of Thomas Z. Li, who takes on one of medicine’s most pressing challenges: how to predict and diagnose lung cancer with the data we already have. By integrating longitudinal chest CTs and multimodal electronic health records, Li develops a suite of AI models—transformers, joint embeddings, contrastive learning—to predict lung cancer diagnosis and long-term risk. From emphysema quantification to contrastive pretraining, his work explores how to make sense of asynchronous, sparse, and multimodal data with clinical rigor. Join us for an in-depth look at how machine learning might close the diagnostic gap for one of the world’s deadliest cancers. Opinions shared are individual interpretations and not peer-reviewed consensus.
