Computer Vision to Diagnose Cancer on a Blood Smear: Prof. Christian Ruiz, Moonlight AI
Instead of or before a genetic test – a blood smear analysis to detect blood cancers might soon be an option.
What a human eye cannot see – also under a microscope, computer vision + AI can.
You’ll hear about
- cancer diagnostics in highly specialized centers
- why is Next-Generation Sequencing so expensive
- how AI and computer vision can help bring personalized cancer medicine to millions of patients
- how to train algorithms to recognize genomic aberrations
Prof. Christian Ruiz is the Chief Scientific Officer at Moonlight AI. As a professor of experimental medicine at the University of Basel and used to be responsible for a diagnostic laboratory at the University Hospital Basel which processes more than 100,000 biopsies a day.
Moonlight AI is an early-stage Swiss startup that developed a platform to detect genomic aberrations in blood cancers by analyzing the image of a blood smear. This will allow targeted therapies for leukemias and lymphomas at a fraction of the current cost.
