“Onconaut,” an #AI-based online tool that #mdcBerlin's @al2na.bsky.social has developed, helps oncologists and patients to find the most up-to-date and tailored treatment possible. @helmholtzai.bsky.social has now recognized it as the “Best digital resource.” More: www.mdc-berlin.de/news/news/na...
Graphic with text: The title "ONCONAUT" is at the top, featuring an illustration of a space helmet with a DNA strand in the background [icon of the "onconaut.ai" program]. Below, the text reads 'ALTUNA AKALIN' with a small portrait of a person [Altuna Akalin] in the bottom left corner.
