McMedHacks Leadership Team
McMedHacks is back!
McMedHacks is an 8-week-long program that aims to teach students, researchers, and clinicians fundamentals of medical image analysis and deep learning in Python. It consists of a series of in-depth workshop demos with Google Colab and seminar series given by leaders in the field. McMedHacks is a program organized by the EngerLab at the McGill Medical Physics Unit (MPU), Lady Davis Institute. EngerLab is a part of McGill Centre for Translational Research in Cancer, as well as the Cancer Research Network. Last year’s participants can be found here!
