Meharry Medical College Receives $1 Million Investment from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to Advance Medical Education

M.S. Biomedical Data Science student Dyani Peterson has received an AIM-AHEAD Research Fellowship. She is the first Meharry student and the only master’s student from any institution to earn this distinction. During the year-long fellowship, Peterson will pursue a research project focused on using machine learning for autism prediction. Her interest lies in simplifying the prediction timeline for medical conditions. The AIM-AHEAD Research Fellowship Program engages a group of early-career researchers in biomedical studies. These studies involve using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) methodologies on biomedical data, clinical and genomic cohorts to address health research challenges. “I’m really
