Extracting Insights from Images

My research is focused on the design of algorithms that extract quantitative biomarkers from pathology and radiology images for breast cancer (2011-pres) and neurodegenerative diseases (2006-pres). We are investigating imaging-based precusors that shed light into disease causation and progression, and can be used to predict a patient's prognosis.

Research Foci:

• Medical image analysis techniques for radiology (grayscale) and pathology (colour) images
• Lesion segmentation in neurological MRI for Alzheimer's disease, stroke and multiple sclerosis
• Quantification of nuclear grades and biomarker expression levels in breast cancer pathology images
• Algorithm design for personalized medicine, integrated diagnostics and bigdata analysis
• Computer-aided diagnosis, validation studies, longitudinal analysis, correlation/outcome studies
• Machine learning, predictive analytics, feature fusion
• Generalized grayscale and colour image processing methodologies
