Six Scholarships for the Diagnosis of Rare Diseases Using AI
Area Science Park has launched a call for applications for the awarding of six scholarships aimed at university students working on their master’s degree thesis within the scope of the project “Support for the Diagnosis of Rare Diseases through Artificial Intelligence”. The project aims to develop innovative tools for early identification of rare diseases through the automated analysis of clinical data.
The scholarships, which last six months and are renewable for an additional semester, will support the training of university students during the completion of their master’s degree thesis in one of the following subject areas:
- Multimodal modelling with AI, to distinguish normal conditions from pathological ones through advanced algorithms.
- Management and anonymisation of clinical databases (Electronic Health Records – EHR), with focus on interoperability and data security.
- Development of a digital ecosystem for clinical data research, integrated with the ORFEO data center.
The selected candidates will carry out their research activities at the Area Science Park Data Engineering Laboratory (LADE) and will be able to access an advanced technological ecosystem, including the Orfeo computing platform.
To apply, students must be enrolled in a master’s degree programme in related fields and must submit their application via certified email (PEC) by 11.59 pm on 16 March 2025. Selection will be based on the evaluation of qualifications and an interview.
