The brand effect: how different MRI machines trip up AI
A new study from researchers at the Champalimaud Foundation (CF) investigated whether artificial intelligence (AI) could analyse MRI scans to reliably tell which cancers are less aggressive and which pose a greater risk. While AI showed promise, its accuracy varied significantly depending on the MRI scanner’s brand.

Researchers uncover mechanisms of initiation and progression of the most common skin cancer in humans
An international team, co-led by Adriana Sánchez-Danés, principal investigator of the Cancer and Stem Cell Biology Lab at the Champalimaud Foundation, in Lisbon, has shown for the first time the important role of Survivin – a protein that has key roles in regulating cell division and inhibiting apoptosis (programmed cell death) – in the initiation and formation of a basal cell carcinoma, the most common human skin cancer. Their results have now been published in the print edition of January 8, 2025, of the journal Cell Discovery.
