McMaster has been ranked 42nd in the world and 4th in Canada for Medical & Health Studies in the 2026 Times Higher Education World University Rankings by subject. news.mcmaster.ca/mcmaster-amo...

Wishing you a happy holiday season and a special thank you to all the frontline workers who will be spending the holidays away from their families to care for ours.

If you missed the ASCO 2025 North America Conference on Lung Cancer, get the highlights from Lung Cancer Considered Podcast. www.iaslc.org/iaslc-news/l...

A new review in Health and Technology offers a synthesis of where artificial intelligence stands today in lung cancer detection, and where it needs to go next. www.springerprofessional.de/en/a-review-...

A throwback to this time last year at @ircad France for the Advanced Course in Robotic-assisted Thoracic Surgery. It's always a pleasure to connect and share with my talented colleagues from across Europe and North America.

As Lung Cancer Awareness month draws to a close, a reminder that anyone with lungs can get lung cancer. Detecting and treating lung cancer early is important for our patients outcomes and continued screening is important especially for high risk patients.

Honoured to be part of the research and innovation stories from St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton, in The Research Institute of St. Joe's Hamilton annual report for the 2024-2025. reports.rsjh.ca/2024/thoraci...

Our work from 3 years ago, "An Artificial Intelligence Algorithm to Predict Nodal Metastasis in Lung Cancer" the beginnings of our work in AI and lung cancer detection. www.annalsthoracicsurgery.org/article/S000...

The future of lung cancer detection is shifting rapidly, and this episode of Exploring AI in Oncology highlights some of the reasons for these shifts. A key message: equitable, effective screening requires technology, data, & operational excellence working together. oncdata.com/mary-pasquin...

Great work being done by Dr. Lorenzo Ferri and the teams at Montreal's McGill University and Boston's Harvard University www.cbc.ca/news/health/...

The Annual Thoracic Surgery Gala on November 7th was an inspiring evening, a chance to celebrate our exceptional residents, fellows, and the ongoing tradition of excellence within McMaster Thoracic Surgery. A special thank you to Judith Yous for organizing such a wonderful event.

Thank you to those that have served, and continue to serve #LestWeForget

Sharing this episode of Thinking Thoracic from STS, spotlighting the VERITAS trial. A meaningful step toward greater precision, fewer unnecessary procedures, and better outcomes for our patients. A good listen for anyone in thoracic oncology. www.sts.org/podcasts/16-...

Interested in learning more about the work we are doing at NodeAI? We are proud to be pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in thoracic oncology. www.vumedi.com/video/ai-gui...

November marks Lung Cancer Awareness Month As a thoracic surgeon, I’ve seen how much of a difference early detection can make. When lung cancer is found at an earlier stage, treatment options expand and outcomes improve dramatically.

It is my honour to welcome Prof. Moishe Liberman who has been a mentor and a significant influence on my career. His deep knowledge of both the clinical & entrepreneurial landscapes will be an incredible asset to our team as we continue to innovate and push the boundaries of AI in lung cancer care.

Congratulations to McMaster's next Chancellor, Nicholas Brathwaite. As a proud member of the McMaster community, I look forward to his leadership and the inspiration he’ll bring to our students, faculty, and partners. news.mcmaster.ca/nicholas-bra...

Proud to see McMaster University ranked #4 in Maclean’s 2025 "Canada’s Best Medical Doctoral Universities" rankings. This recognition reflects the incredible dedication of our entire team, who continue to push boundaries in education, research, and patient care. news.mcmaster.ca/mcmaster-ran...

Proud moment for the NodeAI team. Grateful to the McMaster Seed Fund for their support as we continue advancing AI-driven lung cancer diagnostics. This investment brings us one step closer to transforming lung cancer staging and building a leading Canadian medtech company.

The Government of Canada’s consultation on its next Artificial Intelligence Strategy is an important opportunity to ensure that innovation remains safe, equitable, and patient-centered. I encourage all stakeholders to share their insights before October 31. ised-isde.canada.ca/site/ised/en...

October is Healthy Lung Month, a time to raise awareness about the importance of protecting and maintaining the health of your lungs. 🫁 Detecting and treating lung cancer early is important for our patients outcomes and continued screening is important especially for high risk patients.

The AIM-HIGH trial demonstrates the potential of biological staging. Using a 14-gene profile, to identify early-stage patients who truly benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy, moving beyond size and nodes to the biology of the disease. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Thanks to McMaster’s innovation programs and support, we’re turning ideas into solutions that can truly make a difference. brighterworld.mcmaster.ca/articles/mcm...

Congratulations to U of T (#1), McGill University (#2) and McMaster University (#4) for their strong showing in the NTU 2025 Rankings - Medicine (Canadian rank) All three landed in the top 65 worldwide. nturanking.csti.tw/ranking/ByYC...

This article on legal readiness for AI in healthcare caught my attention, as CMO of NodeAI, it reinforces why we've built compliance & ethical considerations from day one. Where do you think liability should ultimately rest when AI assists in clinical decisions? www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/le...

You never know when a eureka moment will happen. That moment of curiosity became the foundation for what we're building at NodeAI. Grateful to share how a simple "eureka moment" is driving our mission to improve patient outcomes through AI as featured in The Spec www.thespec.com/news/hamilto...

Congratulations to McMaster University who were ranked 4th in Canada in the U.S News & World Report, a research-focused ranking of global universities + placed in the Top 5 in Canada and Top 150 globally for several health science subject areas. www.usnews.com/education/be...

Thank you to The Lebanese Physicians Podcast for inviting me to join as a guest. I enjoyed our discussion about the implications of this AI innovation for lung cancer diagnosis, biopsy decision-making, and patient care and what the future holds for AI in thoracic oncology. youtu.be/41OZkuhyAqk?...

The message is clear: bold funding and smart policy can unlock the true power of AI in healthcare. At NodeAI, we believe the same. Our mission depends on more than innovation—it requires strategic investment, infrastructure, and clinical integration. Learn more by contacting us at [email protected]

This study on clinical AI highlights a critical insight: optimizing individual AI components isn’t enough. True impact comes from how systems work together. Because in healthcare, better AI isn’t just smarter—it’s more connected. arxiv.org/abs/2506.06574

Wishing everyone a Happy Canada Day and thank you to our healthcare providers and first responders who are working today.

Thank you David Farrar on leading McMaster University over the past five years and congratulations to Susan Tighe on your new role as President. dailynews.mcmaster.ca/articles/a-f...

Unity Health Toronto just launched the Health AI Academy—a national training initiative that's exactly what our industry needs right now. The best AI technology in the world is only as good as the people implementing it. unityhealth.to/about-unity-...

When we talk about the ROI of AI in healthcare, we often focus solely on cost savings. But the real value of AI extends far beyond that. This framework captures what we've learned at NodeAI while revolutionizing lung cancer care through AI-augmented EBUS-TBNA procedures. buff.ly/yuF8yup
