AI-Driven Neuroradiology & Advanced Neuroimaging Biomarkers

PhD candidate at Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Campus Bio-Medico

Rome, Italy

About

Overview

We provide high-level clinical expertise in Medical Imaging, with a primary focus on Neuroradiology and integrated diagnostics. Our team acts as the essential link between technological developers (AI/Software/MedTech) and the clinical environment. We are looking to join Horizon Europe consortia to provide the medical validation and strategic insight necessary for large-scale health projects.

Core Competencies

Clinical Diagnostic Expertise: Expert analysis of complex imaging data (MRI, CT, and beyond) to support research and patient care.
Validation & Implementation: Bridging the gap between "bench to bedside" by testing and validating new digital tools in a real-world clinical workflow.
Data Curation: Providing high-quality medical labeling and clinical ground truth for the development of robust healthcare algorithms.
Multidisciplinary Research: Experience in coordinating with various medical specialties to enhance diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes.

Project Interests

We are interested in any Cluster 1 (Health) or Digital Europe calls where medical imaging and clinical expertise are required, including:

Early Detection & Prevention: Using imaging to identify diseases before symptoms appear.
AI in Healthcare: Validating the safety and efficacy of AI-driven diagnostic supports.
Personalized Medicine: Tailoring treatments based on quantitative imaging biomarkers.

What We Offer

Clinical Perspective: A deep understanding of unmet medical needs and hospital requirements.
Strategic Partnership: Support in writing Work Packages related to clinical trials, pilot testing, and user requirements.
Network Access: Connections to clinical departments and patient populations.

What We Look For

We are seeking to join Consortia led by Universities, Research Organizations, or Innovative SMEs that need a strong clinical partner to ensure their technology is medically relevant and ready for the healthcare market.
