3 Year
Our research covers a range of applied topics in biology, medicine and health. We construct computational models of biological systems, collaborate with pathologists to make breakthroughs in 3D imaging and digital microscopy, deliver novel designs for bio-inspired autonomous agents, and develop secure systems architectures, data mining and visual analytics methods for Big Data. We have developed software that lets pathologists reconstruct virtual 3D blocks of tissue from hundreds of ultra-thin biopsy slices. After reconstructing the tissue using artificial intelligence techniques, we use 3D computer graphics to let pathologists examining the tissue. Our software has let pathologists understand the structure of cancerous tissue in ways that were impossible with conventional light microscopes.
