Happy to share our latest paper in @ai.nejm.org, led by Isabella Wiest: "Deidentifying Medical Documents with Local, Privacy-Preserving Large Language Models: The LLM-Anonymizer" ai.nejm.org/doi/full/10....
You can use our open source tool with local LLMs to robustly de-identify medical documents.

We have open Postdoc / PhD student positions in computational pathology and agentic AI, based in 🇩🇪🇪🇺 Ideally with a CS background, but we do 🧡 biologists with self-taught Python and ML skills

It is happening. Pubmed (pubmed.gov) is gone. And so is cancer.gov. Scientists, what else is needed to wake up?

Very happy to share our latest paper in @naturecomms.bsky.social, led by Kevin Boehm and Omar El Nahhas! Excellent collaboration between @mskcancercenter.bsky.social and @tudresden.bsky.social. We show in three large cohorts that multimodal AI improves breast cancer recurrence prediction.

Very happy to share our latest paper, led by Jan Clusmann: Prompt injection attacks on vision language models in oncology. We show how VLMs in healthcare can be easily hacked and prompted to create harmful output. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Hey science bluesky: The term "computer-aided diagnosis" is on the decline. My hypothesis is that it is being replaced with Deep Learning / AI. Classical rule-based computer-aided diagnosis systems never really worked in practice. Is this view too simple?

Continuing the rant against the "editorialmanager" system used by Elsevier. You have to respect that it would be difficult to come up with a *worse* user interface than this one. The only truly worse pieces of software out there are the electronic health records systems used in our hospitals.

The world of medicine, and many businesses related to it, should brace for massive changes by LLMs - the cost (and value) of knowledge and reasoning in healthcare is rapidly going down

I am happy to peer-review articles for scientific journals for free. However, I am not motivated to complete repetitive drop-down menus at every stage of the revision process. Even when managing manuscripts as an editor, I prefer semi-structured reviews over standardized drop-down menu selections.
