- Welcome new member
- Jie Shu has just joined us as a PhD student. Jie's project will
be in the area of bio-image informatics which addresses the need for
powerful computer analysis tools to process and exploit the fast
growing electronic pathology images and clinical narratives. The
project will employ cutting-edge computational techniques and models to
jointly mine pathology image samples and their associated clinical
narratives to discover trends and patterns in the data, to uncover the
correlations between pathology image features and key medical symptoms
and to develop software utilities to help pathologists to gain new
insight into and new knowledge from large volumes of image and text
based medical data.
