AI PHI is now PAC-AID
The AI Precision Health Institute (AI PHI) was founded at the University of Hawaiʻi Cancer Center by Dr. John Shepherd and Dr. Peter Sadowski to support students and faculty applying AI to medical and health problems. It brought together researchers across imaging, machine learning, epidemiology, and clinical practice, and ran a monthly seminar series on AI in cancer research.
AI PHI became the seed of a larger, funded program. It now continues as PAC-AID — the Pacific Center for Artificial Intelligence and Data Science in Medicine — an NIH/NIGMS COBRE at the University of Hawaiʻi, with Dr. Youping Deng of JABSOM joining as a founding leader.
