8/ Prof. Jeremias Sulam (@JHUBME @JohnsHopkins), William R. Brody Faculty Scholar.

Talk: "Flexible Methods for Uncertainty Quantification in Medical Imaging"

His work bridges sparse representations, conformal prediction, and learned proximal networks — giving clinicians not just a diagnosis, but a confidence interval they can trust.

A radiologist shouldn't just know *what* the model says. They should know *how sure* it is. 📏🔬

Cancer has a sweet tooth.

MatSci Professor Howard Katz and @JHUBME's Kevin Yarema have shown that exploiting tumor cells’ appetite for sugar can make stealthy pancreatic cancer proteins easier to detect.
