Dr. Marshall Pitz, CMIO & Oncologist, joined the AI Summit: Beyond ChatGPT hosted by @BioscienceMB. The panel explored how AI is transforming cancer care — from early diagnosis to personalized treatment. Proud to see Dr. Pitz representing CCMB in shaping the future of care.

The fact regular exercise (2.5 hours/week) helps prevent up to 40% of cancers is a good reason to stay fit. Get active to reduce your risk.

Meet the Zovoilis Lab, led by Dr. Athan Zovoilis — a team of 13 decoding the “dark matter” of our DNA 🧬
By integrating #AI with genomics + bioinformatics, they’re uncovering how gene expression drives disease and where future therapies could begin. @ZovoilisLab #CancerResearch
