Féminin Pluriel Montpellier Méditerranée recently had the privilege of welcoming Stéphanie Nougaret, Professor of Radiology and researcher at ICM – Institut du Cancer de Montpellier.
She also trained in data science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology while completing a visiting professorship at Harvard Medical School.
Professor Nougaret speaks about Artificial Intelligence with great clarity and brings a very practical perspective to its application in radiology: AI is a powerful tool that can transform cancer detection and treatment. She presented virtual biopsy — a revolutionary advancement replacing invasive procedures in favor of personalized care. More than a technological breakthrough, it’s a human-centered journey filled with hope.
A human journey as well, because AI does not replace the physician, who remains essential for analyzing and segmenting the data.
Professor Nougaret is leading an ambitious project in 2025: launching a data challenge on ovarian cancer in Montpellier. The PINKCC Challenge (named after her research lab) will bring together engineering students, AI experts, and start-ups to develop a segmentation algorithm applied to peritoneal carcinomatosis.
This is a crucial issue, as this form of cancer is one of the deadliest among women due to its often late diagnosis. AI could revolutionize its management and significantly improve survival rates.
