Dr Shalem Leemaqz is an adjunct staff at the Adelaide Medical School. He is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Pregnancy Health and Beyond (PHaB) Lab at the College of Medicine and Public Health, Flinders University, and a statistician at South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute. His research aims to model risks for pregnancy complications through statistical and data mining techniques, with a focus on advanced mathematical and statistical modelling of high-dimensional data. He has a background in Mathematics/Statistics and Electronic Systems Engineering, with knowledge of computer architecture and machine learning techniques, and experience in programming using various languages with expertise in R statistical programming.During his PhD (2010 – 2015) with the Placental Development Group in the Robinson Research Institute and Adelaide Medical School at the University of Adelaide, he established the theoretical basis of a novel tiered modelling approach which enables classification of low-prevalence outcomes into low, moderate and high risk levels. This modelling concept was applied to develop screening tools for preeclampsia, preterm birth, intrauterine growth restriction and gestational diabetes, which were the subject of a PCT application filed 23 March 2016.He is committed to bringing quality statistics into medical research, with great interests in applied mathematics and statistics to model complex health-related Big-data and collaborate with bioinformaticians to develop methods to analyse and integrate genomic data together with clinical data.

Statistical modelling for early screening tools to predict pregnancy complications

Preeclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction, preterm birth and Gestational Diabetes affect 1 in 4 Australian pregnancies, with mothers and babies at risk of morbidity and mortality. Hence, methods to identify women at risk of pregnancy complications before symptoms occur would be highly valued by the obstetricians, as modifiable risk factors can be addressed and early interventions implemented to reduce the risk or severity of complications. However, due to complex gene-environment interactions and multiple confounding factors, risk prediction remains a major challenge. More sophisticated statistical techniques are required to model risk. Dr Leemaqz's current research focuses on mathematical and statistical approaches to address analytical and practical challenges in the development and application of flexible algorithms for low-prevalence disease prediction. These methods will be applied to develop a novel screening tool to predict risk for pregnancy complications using models which will permit classification of patients into 3 levels of risk, for whom interventions that could benefit both mother and child may be provided.
