Englander Institute for Precision Medicine – AI Clinic Join us for our AI Clinic meeting on Wednesday, May 6th at 2:00pm ET. (note: more information will be covered outside of weekly topics) Topic of Discussion for this week "Leveraging AI for Scientific Research in 2026" Session Leader: Junbum Kim, Ph.D. Postdoctoral Associate Elemento and Yoffe Lab Weill Cornell Medicine AI Clinic Info: EIPM's bi-weekly sessions (Wednesdays at 2pm-3pm) aim to enhance how we use LLMs for complex tasks, including coding. They will serve as a collaborative space for hands-on troubleshooting, knowledge sharing, and continuous learning. Who is this for? This clinic is designed for our entire scientific and clinical community, with a special emphasis on trainees (students, postdocs, residents and fellows). It is the perfect forum for: Researchers and Scientists looking to apply LLMs to data analysis, coding challenges, or manuscript writing.Clinicians interested in exploring how AI tools can securely optimize research and workflows.Trainees seeking a supportive, hands-on environment to learn and get guidance on applying advanced LLMs to their specific projects.What participants can expect from these sessions: Collaborate with our most LLM-proficient team members (“Super-Users”) to troubleshoot and refine their work.Present real challenges they are encountering (e.g., coding issues, complex prompts, workflow optimization).Potentially share “micro-presentations” when someone discovers a new model, feature, or technique.Our goals are to: Build internal expertise and share best practices. Help participants overcome real technical challenges, and create a community of practice around practical AI use. We are currently seeking Super-Users who demonstrate expertise in coding and experience with AI tools such as Chat GPT 5.2, Gemini 3.0, & Claude 4.5 Opus. We are also seeking participants who are looking for troubleshooting guidance. All skill levels are welcome, from beginners to advanced users. Reach out to Victoria Cummings (vjc4001@med.cornell.edu) should you have any questions or inquiries.
