Public Trust in Experts: It’s on Us to Be the Solution | Andrew Coop, PhD, MA | School of Pharmacy
How do researchers and scholars build public trust? It's all about integrity and benevolence.Andrew Coop, PhD, MA, professor in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences and associate dean for Graduate Programs in the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy, shared those words during the third annual Faculty Convocation at the University of Maryland, Baltimore.Dr. Coop has been a faculty member at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy since 1999, serving as chair of the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences (PSC) from 2007 to 2015. In addition to his current role as UMSOP’s associate dean for graduate programs, he previously served as the school’s associate dean for academic affairs from 2016 to 2024 and as PSC’s vice chair of academic affairs from 2006 to 2007. Coop has received funding from the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute on Drug Abuse for his research on opioids, stimulants, and depressants, all of which were interdisciplinary projects concerned with the design and development of novel tools to allow pharmacological study of the biological systems involved in the abuse of these drugs

- 4:51Using AI to Prevent Medical Errors | Breakthroughs Can’t WaitWhat if your dentist had a second set of eyes — powered by AI — to help spot cancer earlier and improve patient outcomes?That’s the driving question behind the work of Ahmed Sultan, BDS, PhD, a pioneer in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in oral health care. Sultan directs the Division of Artificial Intelligence Research at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry, the first such division at a dental school in the United States. His work is advancing a new era of diagnostics, where AI tools assist clinicians in detecting disease earlier, improving outcomes, and closing care gaps.“We’re seeing more administrative burden and clinician fatigue, which increases the risk of missing things,” Sultan explained. “AI can triage cases and flag abnormalities early, helping dentists and pathologists prioritize serious conditions before they’re overlooked.”🔗 Learn more: https://www.umaryland.edu/breakthroughs#NIHResearch #HealthcareInnovation #DiagnosticAccuracy #HospitalSafety #HealthTech #BreakthroughsCantWaitUMB #UMD #UMB #universityofmaryland #Dentistry #radiology #Science #artificialintelligence #aiinhealthcare
