Summary
Sara Zullino is the Scientific Lead for AI in Medical Applications at EATRIS ERIC in Amsterdam, bringing eight years of experience at the nexus of biomedical engineering, medical imaging, and trustworthy AI. With a PhD in Complex Systems for Life Sciences, she has led EU-funded initiatives (EUCAIM, UMBRELLA, TRUSTroke) to translate research-grade imaging AI into clinically relevant tools that support decision-making across European health systems. Her background spans hands-on image-processing tool development (Matlab/Python) for preclinical MRI and workflow integration with platforms like XNAT, combined with program management of translational imaging infrastructure. She has experience in data stewardship from roles at Euro-BioImaging and fosters public–private collaborations to accelerate adoption of imaging biomarkers and AI. Known for bridging deep technical expertise and pragmatic translational strategy, she focuses on responsible, reproducible AI that delivers measurable patient impact. An image-data enthusiast by training, she pairs complex systems thinking with practical engineering to move algorithms from lab notebooks to clinical practice.
