Inside Cancer Careers

In this episode of Inside Cancer Careers, we explore the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and cancer research.

Dr. Juli Klemm and Dr. Sean Hanlon from the NCI's Center for Strategic Scientific Initiatives discuss various applications of AI in cancer research, including image analysis, clinical informatics, and basic cancer biology. They emphasize the importance of data sharing, model evaluation, and ensuring robust model performance. The conversation also touches upon the implications of AI in healthcare and the need for collaboration across government agencies and external organizations.

Additionally, Drs. Klemm and Hanlon share their career paths and provide advice for early-career scientists interested in pursuing AI in cancer research.

The episode concludes with recommendations for books and podcasts that the guests have found inspiring.
