Systems and Software for Medical Informatics

Advances in high performance computing and machine learning has allowed researchers to make better use of data in both medical research and clinical care. The ability to undertake data-driven science has led to initiatives such as Precision Medicine Initiative and the Cancer Moonshot — multi-year efforts that hold the promise of changing not only our understanding of disease and but also the development and delivery of therapy. A key ingredient is providing investigators the tools to tame the ever increasing data deluge. That’s where we come in. Our lab specializes in novel systems and software for managing, exploring and processing biomedical data. While our lab tends to focus on medical imaging based studies, in the area of cancer, the tools are fairly generic and have found use in non-imaging and non-cancer projects such as transplants and public health informatics.
