Artificial Intelligence in Medicine and Life Sciences – Introduction

Artificial intelligence is rapidly entering medicine and life science research as well as pharmaceutical industry and health care institutions. This introduction course will give an overview over artificial intelligence concepts and methods and over current and future applications of artificial intelligence in medicine and life sciences. Societal, ethical and legal challenges will also be addressed. In addition, students will hear about ongoing research in this area at Lund University and develop a project plan for an artificial intelligence research project in their own research domain. This is the first course in the new course package on "Artificial Intelligence in Medicine and Life Science" and will not have any programming exercises. It will be followed by several in-depth courses with practical exercises, each focusing on different types of data.

LU PhD students have prioritized admission but postdocs and other researchers can be admitted if there are unfilled spaces.

Schedule: The course will take place in the first week of December (Week 49)

Course co-ordinator: Sonja Aits
