Sano PhD student Monika Pytlarz presented her work at  “SPIE Medical Imaging” conference in San Diego, USA.

Gamification of medical applications seems to be inevitable to keep users involved in the process of self-reporting. It is widely accepted that gamification design should be personalized, and there are several approaches to categorizing users for the sake of providing them with the most encouraging design.

The end of February was marked by SIAM Conference on Computational Science and Engineering (CSE23), an important meeting for computational science researchers. This year conference gathered about 2000 attendees in Amsterdam.

Data Science and Medicine are two different fields of knowledge and practice, the one very young, the other rather old, do they have something in common to be able to cooperate and benefit from each other?   

For Fat Thursday in Sano there were announced donuts (which is traditional in Poland) and a discussion about ChatGPT (which is because we like to discuss something important then we meet). We don’t know which of the items brought more of our colleagues to the office that day, but it was really nice to see so many enthusiastic faces in one place.

Dominika Ciupek’s thesis won the first prize in the category of applied science in prestigious scientific AGH competition “Diamenty AGH”. Dominika presented her thesis on "Mapping the properties of white matter pathways of the ageing brain using the diffusion magnetic resonance imaging" which she developed under supervision of Tomasz Pięciak, Ph.D. and Jaromir Przybyło, Ph.D. In Sano Dominika continues her research under supervision of professor Maciej Malawski in Extreme-scale Data and Computing Team and supervision of Tomasz Pięciak, PhD from Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros de Telecomunicación, Universidad de Valladolid (Spain).

Last week we had honor to host Ewa Deelman, research professor from University of Southern California and we had wonderful opportunity to consult with her our computational medicine projects.

Time to celebrate! Last Friday, January 20th, four Sano Science students: Adam Nowak, Krzysztof Gądek, Piotr Kica, and Karol Zając defended their thesis and received Engineer's degrees! 

Dear Sano Science Friends, Partners, Supporters, and Enthusiasts - have a fabulous New Year ahead!

At Sano Science, we believe in science, knowledge, and education - they make our world a better place. Just before upcoming Christmas, we want to wish you that goodness is always present in our lives and world.

December is a wonderful time to look around and find ways how to help others. In Sano, we decided to join our forces and help the school for blind children in Kraków which – unfortunately - is struggling financially.  

Alfredo Ibias from Jose Sousa research group (Personal Health Data Science) met with professor Suphamit Chittayasothorn from KMITL School of Information Technology.  

From the 28th to the 30th of November Alfredo Ibias form Personal Health Data Science research team  participated in the 14th Asian Conference on Intelligent Information and Database Systems (ACIIDS 2022). He presented a paper entitled “Using deep learning to detect anomalies in traffic flow”. 

Sano Science is a project carried out by a consortium consisting of European partners. On Friday 25th November, we had the pleasure to host the representatives of our Advanced Partners in our Kraków office.  

Yesterday during the Open Eyes Economy Prologue, Dr. Anna Maria Trawinska had the opportunity to talk about Sano Science and the role of computational medicine in the development of future medicine.

21-24th November took place the next Life Science Open Space edition. Marian Bubak hosted the health-tech session.  

13-18th November 2022 in Dallas, USA had place the International Conference for High-Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis. This is one of the most important events in supercomputing field and Sano Science was there! 

Virtual Reality Simulator for Fetoscopic Spina Bifida for Repair Surgery - this was the title of Przemysław Korzeniowski presentation at the IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), one of the largest and most impacting robotics research conferences. 

Sano participated in the 1st European Teaming Conference organized by the Deputy Ministry of Research, Innovation, and Digital Policy in Limassol, Cyprus.   The event gathered representatives from all 24 European Projects funded under the Horizon 2020 “Teaming for Excellence” Programme, representatives from the European Commission and the Research Executive Agency, as well as stakeholders from the Cyprus R&I ecosystem. 

At the beginning of October, Insigneo welcomed 22 members of Sano team, including Research Team Leaders, PostDocs, Scientific Programmers and PhD Students to a week long PhD Training programme. This was the second time Insigneo had hosted the Sano PhD Training and the first time it was held in person. The event was held in the Medical School Seminar Rooms and the Pam Liversidge Building for the final day. The event opened with a welcome from Dr Andrew Narracott followed by an introduction to medical imaging from Dr John Fenner.  The event was organised by Dr Ivan Benemerito.
