Bedside to bench: Reinventing medicine with AI

AI is a powerful new tool for making sense of high-dimensional signals humans struggle to process, such as images and waveforms. In medicine, AI is already starting to produce empirical discoveries driving theoretical insights. Rebooting this flow of ideas from ‘bedside to bench’ — historically a key driver of progress that has dried up in recent years — will give rise to major innovations in patient care, and create a new science of medicine powered by data and computation.

Implementing AI-based cancer and infectious disease screening in resource-limited settings

Johan Lundin's research is focused on digital diagnostics and medical artificial intelligence to support patient care. Specific research areas include image-based diagnostics of cancer, infectious diseases and burn injuries, with special emphasis on point-of-care solutions for resource-limited settings.
