A new collaborative piece - The Disciplinary Matrix of Holobiont Biology - comes out on Friday. Here’s a snippet about it, why I wrote it, and why the international team is an essential part of the story.

What makes a great AI/ML prediction in healthcare? I have four things I consider: 1. Is the prediction clinically meaningful and actionable? 2. Is the prediction robust? 3. Is the prediction generalizable? 4. Is the prediction reproducible?

Participants in the #microbiome preterm birth @DR_E_A_M Challenge develop clinically-relevant models of predicting preterm birth from vaginal microbiome composition. This huge #benchmarking effort could lead to new ways of reducing infant morbidity and mortality.
