Job Description

About the company

Raidium is building a foundation Model for precision medicine in radiology. Our first release, Curia is already state of the art. We aim to broadly democratize access to imaging biomarkers for both clinical and research applications through a biomarker factory. Our model is embedded in a new type of solution for the radiologist that enables a revolutionary AI-native workflow.
