Honored to give a workshop and keynote at #NordicEpi#NorPEN 2026 in Tromsø. The workshop focused on target trial emulation in pregnancy research; the keynote on improving causal inference by design for complex public health questions.
CAUSALab Director @_MiguelHernan delivered the keynote, “Causal inference and Al. What can we learn from data and how much learning can we
automate?" today at ACE 2024 Annual Meeting.
Dr. Hernán introduced this year’s focus on AI & epidemiological research @Join_ACE. #causal
🎉 Excited to share that my NIH R35 grant on causal inference methods for treatment heterogeneity has been funded! Grateful for the support from my mentors and colleagues! 🙌 @NIGMS@PennState@PennStHershey#CausalInference
We developed an estimator to improve the efficiency of RCTs by integrating extetnal controls, which is consistent even if the transportability assumption does NOT hold. Pharmas can finally use the external control worry-free!

New research published @AnnalsofIM challenges past scholarship on #metformin.
CAUSALab research collaborator @HanChiu_ identified no increased risk for childbirth with major birth defects when compared w/ women who discontinued the drug.

With #TargetTrial emulation becoming increasingly popular, it's important to understand what it can and cannot do.
In this new podcast, I discuss how target trial emulation can 1) improve causal inference from observational data, and 2) extend inferences from randomized trials.
A blanket ban on the use of causal language in observational studies has long precluded nuanced discussion about which associations, if any, are truly causal
Fantastic work by Issa Dahabreh (@CAUSALab@SmithBIDMC) and @KBibbinsDomingo changes this
