Advancing causal inference methods, fostering collaborative research, and providing essential training to drive innovation across diverse fields.
Formal causal reasoning is essential at every research stage, from design to interpretation. The CCI develops study designs and analytic methods for various fields, with a focus on precision medicine. Unlike machine learning, which predicts outcomes if clinical practices remain unchanged, causal inference assesses potential outcomes under different interventions—identifying which treatments best suit specific patient groups. Through causal inference methods, the CCI transforms Big Data into actionable evidence for personalized medicine.
