About the community

The JTS's commitment to innovation aligns seamlessly with the advancement of AI in the medical sciences. We aim to foster cutting-edge research, nurture emerging talent and facilitate knowledge exchange among the faculty, students and external stakeholders. We will achieve this through a series of engaging seminars, interactive workshops and pioneering research initiatives, creating a vibrant community.

Theme coordinator Peter van Ooijen: 'I am honoured to take on the role of Theme Coordinator for 'AI and Medical Sciences' at the Jantina Tammes School (JTS) for Digital Society, Technology and AI. This theme is of great importance in today's ever-changing landscape, where the integration of AI into the medical sciences promises to redefine healthcare.'

The potential of AI in the medical field, including prevention, diagnostics, drug discovery, and personalised treatments, is nothing short of extraordinary. It has the capacity to speed up diagnoses, improve treatment methods and streamline healthcare operations. Moreover, it provides healthcare professionals with data-driven tools, bringing benefits to both patients and doctors. The JTS's unwavering commitment to promoting interdisciplinary collaboration makes the institute an ideal hub for exploring this topic. AI in the medical sciences cuts across different disciplines and the diverse expertise within the JTS enables us to address the complex challenges that arise at this intersection.

Van Ooijen: 'In short, 'AI and medical sciences' is crucial for shaping the future of healthcare and perfectly aligns with the overarching goals of the Jantina Tammes School. I am thrilled to lead this initiative and build a community working together to transform AI for healthcare and improve society.'
