Program Co-Chairs


Catarina Veiga
University College London
United Kingdom


Short Bio
Catarina Veiga is an Associate Professor at University College London (UCL) and principal investigator of the Paediatric Radiotherapy and Imaging (PRIma) research group. She completed her PhD at UCL in 2016 focused on adaptive radiotherapy, having spent 6-months as visiting scholar at University of Pennsylvania. She later joined the UCL Centre for Medical Image Computing (now Hawkes Institute) as postdoctoral researcher developing image analysis for radiation-induced lung damage. In 2018 she was awarded a prestigious Royal Academy of Engineering Fellowship. Her research interests span radiation physics, medical i maging and image analysis, computer simulation and other disruptive technologies aiming to improve radiotherapy delivery and understand radiation-induced side-effects, particularly in young patients. Her scientific contributions were recognised with the 2020 Academic Early Career Award given by the UK’s Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine. Catarina is also an advocate for outreach activity particularly with people with lived experience of radiotherapy. ... More >>

Short Bio
Jun Xu is the Director of Jiangsu Provincial Key Laboratory of Intelligent Medical Image Computing (IMIC) and the Vice Dean of the School of Future Technology at Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, China. He had been a postdoctoral scientist and visiting professor at the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Rutgers University and Case Western Reserve University in the United States, respectively. He and his IMIC research group are developing and applying novel quantitative image analysis, natural language processing, signal processing, and machine learning tools for disease prevention, di agnosis, and prognosis in the context of breast, liver, colorectal, prostate, brain disease, and ophthalmology. His group is also exploring the utility of these methods in studying correlations of disease markers across multiple scales and modalities-- from digital pathology to X-ray, CT, multi-parametric MR images, electronic health records, and biosignals. ...
