For our article series \u201cBehind the Code\u201d Dr. Natalia Teixeira Silva interviewed him and captured the reasons\u00a0that led him to founding a company and later to apply for our Software Campus program.<\/div>\n<div class=\"scriptor-paragraph\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"scriptor-paragraph\">\"People within the health care system are seeking for answers, and I'd like to solve problems. That was my initial entrepreneurial thought during my Bachelors. Now, I still enjoy solving problems, and the field of cancer is a complex puzzle which is continuously evolving\". With this mindset, and an encouraging mentor during his studies, Omar developed products early on in his career. His ability to deal with setbacks, adapt to changing situations and a high level of resilience were and are fundamental to his journey as a founder, alongside his supportive and inspiring network.<\/div>\n<div class=\"scriptor-paragraph\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"scriptor-paragraph\">The start-up <a href=\"https:\/\/stratifai.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">StratifAI<\/a>, which he co-founded, develops multimodal AI models to support the prognostics in oncology. The aim is to mediate between science and industry. Not only to accelerate the development of such models and their implementation, but also to offer even better healthcare services. His joint project at the Software Campus with <a href=\"https:\/\/softwarecampus.de\/en\/partner\/zeiss-group\/\">ZEISS<\/a> also supports his research work in this area.<\/div>\n<div class=\"scriptor-paragraph\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"scriptor-paragraph\">We are delighted that Omar will be presenting StratifAI at the Summit on 18\/19 November 2024 in Berlin.<\/div>\n<div
