David participated Oral presentation at the Student Retreat from BIGS Clinical and Population Science PhD program
On 27–28 Oct 2025 in Bonn, I attended the 10th BIGS Clinical & Population Science Student Retreat—a focused two-day program across the life sciences that highlighted post-PhD career pathways and the central role of human-in-the-loop AI in healthcare—featuring inspiring keynotes, the EnaCom “Research-to-Use-Case” workshop, and targeted networking.
In the oral presentation I showcased our work, “Multi-center Collaboration for Improved Lymph Node Metastasis Detection in PDAC.” Building on [1], commenting on the retrospective multicenter cohort of 652 PDAC patients (391 with lymph-node metastases; 59.97%), with the expanded two German sites—University Medicine Berlin (BER) and University Medical Center Göttingen (GÖT)—to include a more rigorously stress-test our two-stage deep-learning pipeline.
