Julia Schnabel: What if a Broken Rib Could Save Your Life?
Research Film
What if a routine X-ray could detect cancer before any symptoms appear?
«What I want to do is to make the invisible visible to radiologists who wouldn't otherwise see it without our techniques.»
Julia Schnabel
MCML PI
MCML PI Julia Schnabel develops AI models that detect what medical imaging alone can miss — from cancer metastases to cardiovascular problems a radiologist wasn’t originally looking for. Using Cancer Foundation Models and anomaly detection trained on healthy populations, her research is bringing medicine closer to a holistic, patient-centred approach where no finding gets overlooked.
In this video series, discover how MCML researchers are bridging theory and practice to build AI systems that prioritize accessibility, sovereignty, and impact.
