Workshop “AI in Biology and Medicine”
The international workshop "Artificial Intelligence in Biology and Medicine" was held at the Jerusalem College of Technology (Lev Campus) on Feb. 14-15, 2023. The workshop was a two-day event precipitated as a result of a collaborative project between the Jerusalem College of Technology (JCT) and the Institute of Radioprotection and Nuclear Safety (IRSN), Fontenay-aux-Roses, France, in the framework of Israel-France "Maïmonide-Israel" research program.
The project focused on the use of AI for analyzing low-dose radiation effects on intestinal tumorigenesis in mice. We decided however to open this event to a broader research community since AI has been steadily finding its use in various studies in radiation biology and medicine. We thus invited participants and speakers to present and discuss their innovative work applying AI, in its very broad terms, in biological and medical research. About 25 researchers and R&D from Israel, France and Germany presented their results. JCT students also presented their results as posters.
The workshop concluded with a social guided tour in Jerusalem, followed by a dinner.
We would like to thank all the participants and everybody who supported us. It is our hope that such workshops will be held on a regular basis from now on.
