Turing-Roche Community Scholar, University of Leeds

Bio

Jack Breen is a postgraduate researcher in artificial intelligence for ovarian cancer diagnosis using histopathology images at the University of Leeds. His research is focused on weakly supervised classification of gigapixel images, with a view to improving the efficiency and generalisability of current methods to improve their clinical utility. Jack has a background in mathematics and statistics.

He is part of the 2023/2024 Turing-Roche Partnership Community Scholar Scheme.

Turing-Roche Community Scholar Project

Jack’s project will focus on developing a chapter for the Turing Way handbook about reducing risks of bias and improving the completeness of reporting in research. This chapter will include an exploration of how research results can be misleading due to limitations of the study design, conduct, and analysis, and will act as a guide to researchers to improve the reliability and reproducibility of their research. The chapter will be developed collaboratively with input from an array of researchers in different disciplines.
