At this year’s S3E Start Open Day, celebrated at the Tivoli BBVA Theatre in Lisbon, we interviewed the participating research teams to find out more about their projects and how they’re planning to implement the knowledge they’ve gained through our program to take their innovation from the lab to the the market.
BreastScreening-AI is one of the 14 teams that was selected to join the 2024 edition of S3E Start, our program of support for deep tech research and entrepreneurship in Southern Europe, coordinated by our South3E partner HiSeedTech. Watch below the full interview to hear all about their work and their experience on Start!
“We joined S3E Start to help us prepare for the EIC Accelerator and, as we expected, it has been a great opportunity for us to grow. We have developed our project plan to bring our solution into the market, and we now also feel ready to start pitching for funding.” — Francisco Maria Calisto
This project is pioneered by researchers from University of Lisbon’s Instituto Superior Técnico and University of Coimbra, and it focuses on developing advanced AI-driven diagnostic tools that integrate mammography, ultrasound, and MRI data to enhance breast cancer detection accuracy, and in turn help radiologists reducing diagnostic times and minimizing false positives and negative. The full BreastScreening-AI team includes: Francisco Maria Calisto, Carlos Santiago and André Fadiga.
