Getting Doctors and Technologists to Talk About Artificial Intelligence

On the occasion of the Artificial Intelligence Appreciation Day, a conference will be held at the Champalimaud Foundation aimed at bridging the gap between AI innovation and its implementation in medical practice.

The goal of the MEDICA AI - The Conference, which will take place on July 16 at the Champalimaud Foundation (FC), is to familiarise healthcare professionals, with the latest AI tools so that they can apply them in their daily practice for the benefit of patients.

Every day, we make countless decisions based on sounds without a second thought. But what exactly happens in the brain during such instances? A new study from the Renart Lab, published in Current Biology, takes a look under the hood. Their findings deepen our understanding of how sensory information and behavioural choices are intertwined within the cortex — the brain’s outer layer that shapes our conscious perception of the world.

Join us for the FAITH Project's closing conference, where we'll delve into the crucial intersection of the FAITH AI technology and trials as well as key issues of mental health, survivorship in cancer and lessons learnt.

Meeting Description

This meeting collaboration between the Association for Cancer Immunotherapy CIMT and the Champalimaud Foundation will address promising paths towards effective cellular treatment modalities for patients with solid cancer and discuss the boundaries of synthetically engineered immune cells. The meeting will also discuss the innovation gap between academic and small biotech driven research, and the challenges of safe, biologically, and clinically relevant phase I / II clinical trials.
