We are a group of clinicians and scientists interested in employing artificial intelligence and multidimensional/multimodal data for personalized screening, prevention, treatment, and monitoring of patients with head and neck cancer.
Always looking to support motivated undergraduate/graduate students and postdocs with an interest in constructing intelligent
systems or evaluating the impact of AI methods in the management of patients with head and neck cancer and mucosal precancerous
lesions.
