The AI for Oncology lab is a collaboration between the Netherlands Cancer Institute and the University of Amsterdam. Both institutes join forces in the development of AI algorithms to improve cancer treatment. The opening is on 24 June 2021.
Opening of AI for Oncology Lab on 24 June 2021
The AI for Oncology lab will officially and festively start and you are invited. Please register for the opening and after the registration you will receive a link. It is a digital meeting from 16h00 – 17h00.
Registration for the opening AI for Oncology 24 June 2021
The goal of the collaboration between the Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI) and University of Amsterdam (UvA) is improved cancer treatment through the aid of Artificial Intelligence. A lot of complex information is acquired from patients during and prior to the treatment through medical imaging, pathology, DNA, and so on. AI solution can assist medical specialists finding and applying the right treatment based on all this in
University of Amsterdam
Dr Serena Ferente has been appointed professor of Medieval History at the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Amsterdam (UvA).
Ferente’s research focuses on Europe and the Mediterranean in the 14th to 16th centuries, particularly the history of politics and society in Italy, the history of European political discourse, and gender history. She is currently working on a book on the history of 15th century Europe and starting a project on the late medieval Black Sea as a primary border region of Eurasia.
At the UvA, Ferente will lecture on Medieval History to all first-year undergraduates, give tutorials to second- and third-year Bachelor’s students, as well as course-specific lectures within the Master’s and Research Master’s programmes.

UvA and NFI to conduct joint research to help detect deepfakes and hidden messages left by criminals

Pasting the faces of Dutch celebrities or the face of a disagreeable ex onto bodies in porn films. Blackmailing someone by displaying manipulated images of a kidnapped child. Or using a concealed message in a photo to tell someone which container cocaine is hidden in. The technology used to create deepfakes and hidden messages is constantly evolving. And criminals are using it too, warn the police and the public prosecution service. The Netherlands Forensic Institute (NFI) and the University of Amsterdam (UvA) have joined forces to conduct joint research into computer models which will help detect deepfakes and hidden messages.

Hessels’ research focuses on using large radio telescopes to explore the astrophysics of some of the most energetic objects and phenomena in the Universe. Astronomical observations conducted using radio waves and radio telescopes (Radio Astronomy) play a critical role in the study of transient astrophysical phenomena (short-lived and often extremely energetic astrophysical events). Thanks to cutting-edge radio telescopes like the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR), the field of radio astronomy has entered a new golden age in which the exploration of transient radio phenomena is a key scientific driver. Also called Time Domain Astronomy, the study of how astronomical sources change in brightness – sometimes within milliseconds or less – is a powerful
