FRANCESCO CIOMPI

I work at the intersection of pathology, oncology, and artificial intelligence. As an Associate Professor and Research Group Leader of Artificial Intelligence for Precision Medicine, I lead a multidisciplinary team in the pathology department of the Radboud University Medical Center, developing artificial intelligence models to expand our understanding of diseases, use these discoveries to develop novel computational biomarkers, and to aid physicians improve their routine diagnostics and treatment selection.
