Jeroen van der Laak is professor of computational Pathology at the department of Pathology of the Radboud University Medical Center in Nijmegen, The Netherlands and guest professor at the Center for Medical Image Science and Visualization (CMIV) in Linköping, Sweden. His research focuses on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for analysis of digitized histopathological images. His research group was among the first to show the large potential of so-called deep learning algorithms for analysis of whole slide images. Further research focused on the use of AI to support pathology diagnostics in areas such as breast cancer grading and Banff scoring in transplant kidney biopsies. He coordinated several well-known grand challenges (CAMELYON, MONKEY). Dr van der Laak co-authored over 190 peer-reviewed publications and was previously member of the board of directors of the Digital Pathology Association and is chair of the 'AI in Pathology' taskforce of the European Society of Pathology. He received research funding from, among others, the European Union, the Dutch Cancer Society and the Dutch government. Dr van der Laak is coordinator of the Bigpicture project, is USCAP Nathan Kaufman laureate and recipient of the AMMODO award for groundbreaking science. In 2021, he founded the Radboudumc spinoff Aiosyn, for which he is CSO.
