Thanks so much @BasuLab1 @LovaSunMD @PennHeadandNeck! What a great opportunity to brainstorm science together.
It was a privilege to host @lab_pearson together with @LovaSunMD as part of our Head and Neck Cancer Center of Excellence lecture series and learn about progress toward AI-based discrimination of actionable states for cancer therapy.

Honored to present our translational research at @TheVFoundation symposium. Thank you for the invtation and your support! @UCCancerCenter @UChicagoMed @UChicagoHemOnc @UofC @UChicagoCCB
It’s personal for our researchers. @AkashPatnaik7 from @UChicagoMed shares how he lost his uncle to prostate cancer and how that gave him the drive to research this type of cancer.

Priviliged to have spent 4 days with friends and colleagues from all over the 🌎in the beautiful historic setting of AKSS Spetses for the first “Workshop on AI in Oncology: applications & challenges”. We interacted and learned from AI experts, delved into the exciting new world of AI possibilities and dynamic potentials in oncology, laughed and shared amazing moments in Spetses, the island of unique energy, cherished and celebrated old friendships and fostered new ones, enjoyed a few unforgettable days of togetherness. And also organised and followed our @I3Lung annual meeting, celebrating 2 years of working together! thank you all for coming, each one has and is making an incredible difference and together we rock! Safe travels back home to everyone and see you all next year! ❤️
