IIn 2025, Sano launched a new flagship event \u2014 Krakow Conference on Computational Medicine<\/a><\/strong>, held in October in Krakow. Organised by the Sano Centre for Computational Medicine, in collaboration with Faculty of Computer Science AGH Krakow<\/a> and Academic Computer Centre Cyfronet AGH<\/a> the conference marked an important milestone in promoting computational medicine in Poland and internationally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the theme Enhancing Virtual Human Twin with AI Solutions<\/em>, the event brought together leading researchers, clinicians, and innovators to discuss the role of artificial intelligence in shaping the future of personalised healthcare. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The conference was held under the Honorary Patronage of Marcin Kulasek, Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Poland, and Aleksander Miszalski, Mayor of the City of Krakow, with Media Patronage from krakow.pl and Tygodnik Powszechny. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sano joined the consortium developing the Gaia AI Factory <\/strong>\u2014 Poland\u2019s second \u201cArtificial Intelligence Factory,\u201d led by CYFRONET AGH in Krakow. The \u20ac70\u202fmillion initiative, co-funded by the EU and Poland, focuses on building trusted AI technologies in medicine, space, and language models. The Gaia AI supercomputer will deliver computational power several times greater than Poland\u2019s current fastest system, Helios. The project will support the full AI lifecycle \u2014 from data preparation and model training to deployment \u2014 while also offering training, consultations, and digital skills programs. The initiative promotes the responsible use of AI and strengthens Sano\u2019s mission to advance computational medicine for the future.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sano researchers have co-created AI-powered platform to explore protein structures. The AI-powered Protein Structure Landscape platform<\/a>, developed by researchers from the Structural and Functional Genomics<\/strong> team at Sano in collaboration with international partners, offers an interactive way to explore nearly one billion predicted protein structures. By integrating data from AlphaFold, ESMAtlas, and the Microbiome Immunity Project, it provides a unified, visual map of the protein world \u2014 freely accessible to scientists worldwide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This open-access resource supports research in drug discovery, structural biology, and computational medicine, marking a major step toward understanding life at the molecular level. \u201cWe believe our platform will contribute to the development of better diagnostic and therapeutic methods, while also helping us understand molecular life at the structural level,\u201d says Dr. Pawe\u0142 Szczerbiak, researcher at Sano. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The innovative solutions developed at Sano are gaining international recognition. During the Surgical AI Days (UnVeil Surgical), Sean Huver from NVIDIA presented SimuScope<\/strong> \u2014 a technology created at Sano \u2014 as an example of a groundbreaking tool that enhances surgical precision and safety, showcasing the global impact of our research in AI-driven medical innovation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marek\u202fWodzi\u0144ski <\/a>from Sano was among the laureates of the Polityka Science Awards\u202f2025, winning in the category of technical sciences. His research on AI algorithms for medical imaging contributes to the development of advanced diagnostic methods and the integration of technology into clinical practice. Through an interdisciplinary approach, Dr. Wodzi\u0144ski designs solutions that bring us closer to more precise, accessible, and patient-centred medicine of the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
