Transforming health through AI

The Temerty Centre for Artificial Intelligence Research and Education in Medicine (T-CAIREM) is seeking supervisors for the 2026 T-CAIREM Summer Research Program. T-CAIREM-affiliated Canadian university faculty members and researchers are eligible to apply for funding to hire a summer student to assist with research. (This includes faculty members and researchers from partner universities and health research institutions in the T-CAIREM Network.)  DEADLINE FOR SUPERVISOR APPLICATIONS: Nov. 17, 2025 (Mon.) 

We recently caught up with Alex Mariakakis, Assistant Professor in the University of Toronto’s computer science department, and the instructor of several T-CAIREM AI in medicine upskilling courses. Mariakakis also runs the Computational Health and Interaction (CHAI) lab, which explores how data from smartphones and wearable tech can improve people’s health. With that background, he’s well-qualified to teach the upcoming T-CAIREM courses to help learners from different disciplines get up to speed with data science for health.  

Join us for the 2025 T-CAIREM AI in Medicine conference, The Evolution of Generative AI.
