Three researchers from the centre star in the new audiovisual series launched on the occasion of 11F
The center is premiering the #WomenInTech video series, an initiative promoted within the 11F International Day of Women and Girls in Science, featuring interviews that bring cutting-edge research in artificial intelligence applied to health closer to the public.
In the week of 11 February (11F, International Day of Women and Girls in Science), CiTIUS is launching the #WomenInTech initiative for the first time, a project designed to shine a spotlight on the work of its women researchers and to offer real and accessible role models to girls and young women interested in science and technology.
The series will feature three young researchers from the center. The first installment is dedicated to Marta Núñez, a Ramón y Cajal researcher at CiTIUS, specializing in multimodal cardiac imaging and machine learning. Her research focuses on the development of standardized heart models for the statistical analysis of cardiac data, integrating advanced artificial intelligence techniques and medical image processing with applications in the cardiovascular field.
Continuing the commemoration of this anniversary honoring the role of women in scientific and technological fields, two new interviews will also be published throughout the week with Carolina Pavez, a predoctoral researcher focused on algorithmic fairness and explainability in artificial intelligence systems applied to clinical practice, and Constanza Andión, a predoctoral researcher who applies machine learning techniques to multimodal data to improve the detection of small fetuses and analyze fetal growth trajectories. Together, they complete a series that shows how advanced research can be translated into concrete solutions for more precise, equitable, and preventive medicine.
Through an informative and accessible format, #WomenInTech combines scientific explanation and personal experience, emphasizing the importance of having female role models in the technological field. The initiative responds to a clear motivation: helping to spark early vocations and strengthening the center’s commitment to equal opportunities in research.
CiTIUS (a center co-funded by the European Union through the Galicia Feder 2021–2027 Program) thus joins, once again, the various initiatives promoted around the world to make the presence of women in spaces of scientific and technological excellence more visible, promoting and strengthening a professional development environment for women researchers at different stages of their careers.
