Coming out of AMLD - Applied Machine Learning Days  - a heartfelt thank you to our speakers and everyone who joined the track: "The Future of Oncology: Harnessing Multimodal Foundation Models for Clinical Impact". What made it special was seeing the full spectrum of AI in healthcare - from novel research approaches to concrete examples of real-world clinical implementation. We really appreciated everyone's openness in sharing both successes and challenges - this is exactly what moves the field forward. 💡 Highlights from our speakers: Fei Tang, Principal ML Engineer at kaiko.ai, provided a detailed walk-through of training foundation models on sequencing data. David van Dijk, Assistant Professor (Computer Science, Medicine) at Yale University, showed how reframing biological data analysis as a language problem opens new possibilities. Daniel Truhn, Full Professor (AI in Medicine) and Radiologist at University Hospital Aachen, traced the evolution of intelligent agents in radiology and painted a compelling picture of where we are heading. Kevin Groot Lipman, Technical Physician at The Netherlands Cancer Institute, grounded us with concrete examples of foundation model deployment in clinical settings, including key challenges and solutions. ✨ A special thank you to our co-organizers Marianna Rapsomaniki and Raphael Gottardo! We look forward to coming back next year! #AMLD2025

AMLD Speaker Highlight – Part 4 We’re pleased to introduce the final speaker of AMLD - Applied Machine Learning Days , Kevin Groot Lipman. Kevin is a Technical Physician at The Netherlands Cancer Institute, responsible for overseeing AI implementation. In his presentation, he will explore the journey from identifying a clinical need to developing AI-assisted solutions. Kevin will discuss how foundation models support consult preparation and tumor follow-up, as well as the significant benefits these models can offer to both patients and doctors - provided they are effectively integrated into clinical workflows. 📅 When: 13th February, 11:45 - 12:25   📍 Where: Garden 5BC  We’re excited to kick off #AMLD tomorrow, looking forward to welcoming you then! 

AMLD Speaker Highlight – Part 3 Let us introduce the third speaker of AMLD - Applied Machine Learning Days , Daniel Truhn, Full Professor (AI in Medicine) and Radiologist at University Hospital Aachen and RWTH Aachen University. Daniel’s research lab focuses on developing multimodal AI models that are not only cutting-edge but also translatable to clinical practice. In his session, Daniel will explore the shift from narrow, single-purpose AI models to more general models capable of handling a broad range of medical tasks. He will also discuss how LLMs acting as intelligent agents could redefine the future of medicine. 📅 When: 13th February, 11:00 - 11:45   📍 Where: Garden 5BC  Join us for this insightful session at #AMLD! 

AMLD Speaker Highlight – Part 2   We are pleased to introduce the next featured speaker at AMLD - Applied Machine Learning Days : Dr. David van Dijk, Assistant Professor (Computer Science, Medicine) at Yale University. David’s research Lab specializes in development of machine learning algorithms that revolutionize understanding of biomedical data, with a strong focus on single-cell genomics and spatiotemporal data. In his session, David will discuss new approaches treating biological systems as language, enabling use of LLMs for biological interpretation and prediction through targeted data engineering, with applications in personalized medicine. 📅 When: 13th February, 09:50 - 10:30   📍 Where: Garden 5BC   Join us for this insightful session at #AMLD!

AMLD - Applied Machine Learning Days Speaker Highlight At AMLD, our colleague Fei Tang will demonstrate how foundation models can unlock insights from genomic data in oncology. Her talk explores a novel self-supervised approach that efficiently processes whole genome sequences, creating embeddings that capture crucial genomic patterns. As Principal ML Engineer and R&D Lead, Fei is developing model architectures that combine genomic information with other clinical modalities, laying the foundation for a generalist AI system in oncology and advancing our vision of personalised cancer care. 📅 When: 13th February, 09:10 - 09:50  📍 Where: Garden 5BC 

At ICT&health last week, we presented our shared vision with the The Netherlands Cancer Institute for integrating AI in the consultation room. It was great to see so much engagement from healthcare professionals with our patient case preparation tools, which use LLMs to extract and summarize key information from referral letters and patient records. Their feedback reinforced our belief that AI should solve real clinical challenges and fit seamlessly into existing workflows. We were honoured to have NKI-AVL's leadership team - Richard Dirven (CMIO), Edgar van Zoelen (CDTO), and Harry Verbunt, the institute’s first Chief Patient Officer - highlight this collaboration during their keynote. In a dedicated session, our colleagues Nanne Aben and Veerle Struben dove deeper into our development process of the initial LLM-based use cases - just the first step toward a future where multi-modal AI can integrate insights across clinical notes, imaging, and genomics. Thank you to everyone who visited our booth and shared their perspectives. We are focused on turning these insights into better tools for clinicians.

Digitale innovaties en AI écht laten landen in de praktijk. Wij creëren de spreekkamer van de toekomst. Tijdens het ICT&health World Conference 2025 vertelde ik samen met Harry Verbunt en Edgar van Zoelen over onze visie over hoe digitale transformatie de oncologische zorg bij Antoni van Leeuwenhoek verandert. Wat als je ineens zelf patiënt wordt? Harry als eerste CPO in Nederland, bracht een persoonlijk en indringend verhaal. Als IT-expert in de zorg veranderde zijn perspectief compleet toen hij zelf patiënt werd. Zijn boodschap? Zorg moet draaien om de patiënt, niet om het proces. Edgar vertelde over hoe je nou daadwerkelijk zorgt dat iedereen binnen de organisatie innovatieve ideeën omarmt en dus draagvlak creëert. Ikzelf heb twee innovatieve projecten uitgelicht die wij samen uitvoeren met kaiko.ai en Willemijn van Koevorden. Nog benieuwd naar het filmpje van de spreekkamer van de toekomst waarbij generatieve AI wordt ingezet?
