The Tumor Hacker: How Data & AI Are Rewriting the Future of Oncology
from Decoded · host Dr. Jurgi Camblong
Most doctors look at a tumor and see a disease. Professor Olivier Michielin sees a code waiting to be cracked. Starting his career in physics and training under Nobel Prize winner Martin Karplus, Olivier realized early on that he "would not be happy just talking to electrons". He pivoted to medicine to bring a data-driven, engineering mindset to oncology. Today, he is rewriting the rules of how we treat melanoma and other complex cancers by combining immunotherapy with advanced algorithms. In this episode, the "Tumor Hacker" joins Dr. Jurgi Camblong to discuss how he is using physics, AI, and immunotherapy to rewrite the future of oncology. From training with Nobel laureates to leading oncology at HUG, Olivier explains why the future of medicine isn’t about discovering cures by accident - it’s about engineering them by design. A conversation about the convergence of data, biology, and the human immune system.
