Position: Professor at Sorbonne University– France.

Bio: Dr. Daniel Racoceanu is Professor at Sorbonne University and Principal Investigator at the Paris Brain Institute, within the Center for Artificial Intelligence and Data Science. His research lies at the intersection of biomedical image analysis, pattern recognition, machine learning, deep learning and computational integrative pathology. He develops artificial intelligence methods for microscopy, histopathology, multimodal biomedical data integration and explainable decision-support systems, with a particular focus on trustworthy AI and clinically interpretable models. His current research explores how artificial intelligence can bridge tissue morphology, molecular information and clinical interpretation. This includes computational pathology, digital histopathology, multimodal representation learning, spatial omics, virtual staining, explainability, uncertainty estimation and human-in-the-loop AI for translational biomedical applications. His broader objective is to contribute to the emergence of next-generation integrative pathology and precision medicine through trustworthy multimodal AI systems.
