Bordet - Postdoctoral Research Position in Multimodal AI in Oncology (m/f/x) - Full time
La société
The Department of Nuclear Medicine at H.U.B is internationally recognized as a leading center for both diagnostic and therapeutic applications, integrating advanced imaging and targeted radionuclide therapy. In parallel, it is highly engaged in preclinical, clinical and translational research, ensuring a a feedback loop between bench and bedside. With a strong track record of industry collaborations and innovation, the department secured two EU-funded projects in the past year alone. A major initiative today is the development of a comprehensive data platform to enable standardized collection and centralization, aligned with the FAIR data principles, of multimodal data. This platform will support the development and validation of in-house and commercial AI models, to enable personalised medicine.
Thera4Care (EU-funded project) represents a large consortium of well-established academic radiotheranostic centres, industry partners, European and medical societies focusing on training and education, a patient advocacy group and a project management group. The project aims to establish a European network to rapidly develop and implement radiotheranostics tools and solutions. The project initiated in October, and is scheduled for 5 years. One of its main objectives is to develop a digital platform to centralize multicentre and multimodal data, to develop AI-based tools for better patient stratification, treatment planning and continuous monitoring of (novel) treatment interventions.
