About the International Epidemiological Association (IEA):
The IEA is the world's leading professional association for epidemiologists, fostering global collaboration in epidemiological research and practice. With regional networks spanning all continents, the IEA promotes excellence in epidemiological science, supports capacity building, and advances evidence-based public health policy worldwide.

Early Career Epidemiologists Programme:
The IEA recognizes the vital importance of nurturing the next generation of epidemiological leaders. Through its Early Career Epidemiologists initiative, the association provides mentorship, networking opportunities, and platforms for emerging researchers to share innovative approaches.

Webinar Synopsis:
Colorectal cancer represents the third most common malignancy globally, characterized by substantial geographical and demographic variations in incidence and mortality rates. This webinar explores how precision public health is revolutionizing our approach to this significant health challenge.
Traditional diagnostic approaches—including colonoscopy, f***l immunochemical testing, and imaging modalities—are being enhanced through precision public health frameworks that leverage genomic data, electronic health records, and population-based surveillance systems to identify high-risk populations and optimize prevention strategies.

Why Attend?
Whether you're a clinician, public health practitioner, researcher, or postgraduate student, this session offers valuable insights into:
Contemporary epidemiological approaches to colorectal cancer
Precision public health strategies for cancer control
Practical applications of big data and predictive analytics
Regional perspectives and collaborative opportunities from the Western Pacific Career development pathways in epidemiological programme.

🚀 Introducing: AI Prompt Helper for Data Analysis

I've observed a common challenge: many beginners struggle to write effective prompts when using AI as their analysis assistant. Poor communication with AI often leads to suboptimal results and frustration.

So I created a simple tool that bridges this gap.

What it does:

✅ Provides structured templates for statistical analysis prompts
✅ Offers best practices for AI-assisted research
✅ Includes examples specific to epidemiology and public health
✅ Helps translate research questions into clear, actionable prompts

Whether you're a student learning R/Python, a researcher exploring new methods, or a professional looking to integrate AI into your workflow more effectively, this tool can help you communicate your analysis needs more clearly.

The goal is simple: better prompts = better results = more efficient research!

Check it out and let me know your thoughts: https://claude.ai/public/artifacts/55725b79-603c-4d84-9754-a625779ed1ff

Generate custom R analysis prompts instantly for statistical studies, epidemiology & data science. Built with Claude AI - streamline your workflow now!

Excited to announce our 5-day Research Statistical Software Workshop is fully booked! 📊

In just 3 days since opening registration, we've reached our limit of 40 participants for this intensive "Introduction to R, Data Analysis and Statistical Modelling" workshop (11th-15th August 2025).

This will be a comprehensive, hands-on journey covering:

• R fundamentals & data visualization
• Data management & linear models
• Logistic regression (binary & multinomial)
• Survival analysis & Cox regression
• Diagnostic testing & reliability analysis

It's going to be intensive - 5 full days of learning, coding, and statistical modeling in R. I'm particularly glad that my postgraduate student Afiq will be facilitating alongside me, bringing fresh perspectives to our teaching approach.

I'm looking forward not just to sharing knowledge and skills with our participants, but also to learning from their diverse experiences and questions. These exchanges always enrich my own understanding.

Huge thanks to the organizing committee from the Clinical Research Centre (CRC), Hospital Seberang Jaya for making this workshop possible. Your support in advancing statistical literacy in our research community is invaluable.
