CLASSICA VALIDATING AI IN CLASSIFYING CANCER IN REAL-TIME SURGERY

Coordinator: UNIVERSITY COLLEGE DUBLIN, NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF IRELAND, DUBLIN (IE)

Building on breakthrough research in the AI analysis of fluorescence and perfusion in cancer tissues, this project clinically validates the use of AI-driven imaging and decision support in real-time cancer surgery. Cancer and healthy tissue have radically different local blood perfusion patterns. This perfusion can be captured using near-infrared video after systemic fluorophore (indocyanine green) injection. Analysis of the video can digitally identify regions of cancer by tracking the perfusion over the initial seconds after dye administration by comparing the fluorescence signal in these a…

About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)

Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.

EU contribution: €6.0M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 4 years from 2022-05-01 to 2026-04-30.
