Excited to speak at the 2025 POET Conference in Calgary 🇨🇦!

Talk: “All Lesions Matter: Reimagining Response with AI and Radiomics” 👉 AI + radiomics aren’t just tools, they’re changing how we see disease, measure response, and personalize therapy.

At @uoft-tcairem.bsky.social AI in Medicine conference, our own Ale Berlin joined a debate: AI will begin to replace some doctors within the next 5-10 years

✅ yes: Ale and a North York General patient partner
❌ no: UHN’s Dr. Heather Ross and a patient partner

💬 What’s your take?

We just posted a comprehensive evaluation of ensilication, a silica-based method that preserves DNA at room temperature without compromising sequencing fidelity.

This could bring genomic medicine closer to communities that currently lack cold-chain infrastructure.

Excited to join the Challenge Me debate on Nov 6!

Motion: Method developers should be required to publish all limitations & failures.

I’ll argue against mandatory transparency, not because I oppose open science, but to stress-test the idea and push our thinking.
