INESC-ID’s researcher awarded a Fulbright scholarship to advance cancer treatment
When the gene editing technology, known as CRISPR-Cas, has come to light, a small revolution in the way we manage illness has started to happen. The potential to diagnose and treat health conditions, such as cancer, exponentially increases when Artificial Intelligence is incorporated. That's exactly what Emanuel Gonçalves, a researcher at INESC-ID specializing in Automated Reasoning and Software Reliability and a teacher at Técnico, will be doing over the course of his sabbatical at the Broad Institute, of MIT and Harvard, under a Fulbright scholarship that he has just been awarded. “The Broad Institute is a leading institution in the area!”, stresses Emanuel. “And the Fulbright Program is, at the moment, one of the few supporting sabbatical leaves, with the advantage of including the possibility to take the family”, adds the father of two infants.
