Jiao Dong defended her Ph.D. thesis on the 8th of February 2023. Inspired by the memory of patients she met during her time as a student studying oral surgery in China, she has spent the past four years researching a regenerative medicine strategy that can be used to repair the function of the salivary gland. In this interview, we learn more about her innovative research efforts, the inspiration b
Mammography screening supported by artificial intelligence (AI) is a safe alternative to today’s conventional double reading by radiologists and can reduce heavy workloads for doctors. This has now been shown in an interim analysis of a prospective, randomised controlled trial, which addressed the clinical safety of using AI in mammography screening. The trial, led by researchers from Lund Univers
