Princess Margaret Cancer Centre has awarded resources equivalent to $250,000 to Professor Ana Crisan through its Cancer Digital Intelligence team, supporting her research under the 2025–26 Grand Challenge: From AI Algorithm to Implementation.
The resources will support MedDataOS: A Human-Centered Multi-Agent Framework for Biomedical Data Analysis, a research project led by Professor Crisan that aims to develop a multi-agent AI system to integrate and analyze clinical data on head and neck cancers. Support from Princess Margaret Cancer Centre is provided as in-kind resources, and includes project management, analyst, developer and data scientist expertise.
“Congratulations to Ana on receiving this support to help improve healthcare outcomes for patients with cancer,” said Raouf Boutaba, University Professor and Director of the Cheriton School of Computer Science. “This award is an important part of Waterloo’s recent partnership with Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. It brings together Ana’s strengths in data visualization and artificial intelligence with Princess Margaret’s clinical expertise to create a collaborative tool to integrate patient data.”
