👉We worked with blood operators in three countries and showed that ML models accurately predict donors’ iron levels at donation.
👉This suggests that prediction models could be a valuable tool for personalizing policies that govern the frequency of blood donations.
Excited to share my 1st-year PhD rotation work in

We used ML to optimize blood donation with models validated in USA, South Africa, and Netherlands
Big thanks to Wanjin and Alton for pushing it through during my return to genomics!

I'm excited to share our latest work, now out in #PLOSGenetics! If you feel limited by linear models in TWAS or PWAS but don't think you can switch to nonlinear methods due to a lack of individual-level phenotype data, this paper is for you.
