Pr. Stefanie Speidel

Stefanie Speidel is a full professor for “Translational Surgical Oncology” and director at the National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT/UCC) Dresden since 2017 as well as one of the speakers of the DFG Cluster of Excellence CeTI since 2019 and the Konrad Zuse AI school SECAI since 2022. She received her PhD from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) with distinction in 2009 and had a junior research group “Computer-Assisted Surgery” from 2012 – 2016 at KIT. She is an elected board member of the Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Interventions (MICCAI) society, a MICCAI fellow and an appointed member of the German Council for Scientific Information Infrastructures (RfII). She has been (co)-authoring more than 130 publications and regularly organizes workshops and challenges including the Endoscopic Vision Challenge@MICCAI. She has been general chair and program chair for a number of international events including the International Conference on Information Processing in Computer Assisted Interventions (IPCAI) and MICCAI conference. Her current research interests include machine learning for image- and robot-assisted surgery, data-driven surgical training and context-aware human-machine collaboration in the future sensor operating room.

Dr. Raphaël Blanc

Dr Raphaël Blanc has been a diagnostic and interventional radiologist and deputy head of the interventional neuroradiology department at the Adolphe de Rothschild Foundation Hospital since 2010. He obtained his doctorate in medicine from the University of Paris in 2003, was an intern of the Paris AP-HP hospitals (1998 to 2003) and assistant clinical director at Henri-Mondor Hospital. His expertise, work and research interests include the endovascular treatment of cerebrovascular malformations, ischemic strokes and ocular tumors in children by intra-arterial injection. He is involved in the development, preclinical and clinical research of new means of endovascular treatment and has been co-principal investigator for numerous studies on these medical devices. He is the author or co-author of more than 160 publications. He is co-founder and president since 2016 of BCV Systems, a Medtech start-up developing an endovascular robotic guide.

Dr. Alessandro Moiraghi

Dr Moiraghi is a Neurosurgeon at GHU Paris (Saint Anne Hospital). He received the prize of surgical and interventional innovation from the National Academy of Surgery in 2022. He will present his work on the development of a probabilistic atlas to predict surgical outcomes in eloquent diffuse gliomas. This tool, developed at Sainte-Anne Hospital under the direction of Pr. Johann Pallud, enables the anticipation of cases for whichthe full removal of the tumor is not doable due to high risks for the patient. It aids the surgeon and the patient in a particularly challenging and difficult decisional process.
