Gabriel Bernardino and Josa Prats i Valero Present their AI Research Platform at CiTIUS

Josa Prats i Valero and Gabriel Bernardino presented at CiTIUS a digital infrastructure that has already processed millions of samples to accelerate medical innovation, TransCOR.

The digital transformation of the healthcare sector has generated a vast volume of data, yet its heterogeneity remains a significant barrier to progress. To address this challenge, Josa Prats i Valero, Lead Software Engineer, and Gabriel Bernardino, Ramon y Cajal Fellow, delivered a keynote lecture at CiTIUS titled: "Development of an Integrated Platform for Advanced Medical Research Based on AI".

During the session, the experts introduced TransCOR, an agile environment specifically engineered to connect clinicians and researchers. The platform provides secure and reusable tools for data management, curation, and annotation, allowing technical teams to tailor the infrastructure to the specific needs of each medical project. By doing so, it effectively eliminates the traditional gap between data acquisition and the deployment of functional AI algorithms.

The success of this UPF initiative is backed by its current implementation. The TransCOR infrastructure is already operational in two cloud systems and on-site at two hospitals. To date, it has processed millions of clinical samples and supports 18 active research projects involving over 60 professionals across three continents. This demonstrates its robustness and scalability in real-world environments, where aligning technical innovation with strict regulatory requirements is essential.
