Jeroen van der Laak
What could be more “science fiction” than having your pathology work supported by a neural network? It might not be as far-fetched as you think! Computer scientist Jeroen van der Laak and his computational pathology group have led the field in applying deep learning to pattern recognition in pathology, showing that AI-supported pathology is within reach. Jeroen has promoted research using the grand challenge platform, producing several landmark papers and a leading role in Bigpicture, a European IMI-supported initiative to promote AI research. Nominators say Jeroen “fits the bill of Strange New Worlds in every aspect!”
