Transforming health through AI

We've posted the video recording and FAQ to help answer questions about the 2026 Summer Research Program for interested trainees and faculty supervisors. 30 PAID positions are available to students!  

The 2026 T-CAIREM Summer Research Program provides 30 students across Canada with paid opportunities to spend 10 weeks working with AI health experts from partners in the T-CAIREM Network.
• We've posted a PDF of hiring supervisors that students can approach. 
• We've also posted an info session recording and FAQ to help interested students.

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.
