Yesterday I had the opportunity to attend the inaugural conference of the program 12 meses cuidándoT, an exciting initiative of the Institute of Biomedical Research of Salamanca (IBSAL), which aims to offer workshops, lectures and other activities to disseminate the research that is being conducted at the institute among the citizens.

It is an excellent opportunity to get children and young adults interested in research, through this program they can learn about the importance of research in our society, its diverse areas and career options.

During the event I gave a talk on the applications of Artificial Intelligence in biomedicine and disucssed the different projects our group works on in this field, such as Project HERMES, Genomic Analysis Platform, Project Tinnitus, SMART-LAMP, Project SAPO and Neurostimulator. These projects provide valuable solutions to a range of diseases and we look forward to contributing more solutions through further research.

BISITE works in numerous biotechnological projects, if you want to know some of them take a look at this video: https://noixion.tv/videos/PLMgaDYtGuawEwDRAPxF6Q
