Research Focus

Our research group focuses on identifying imaging-based biomarkers. We integrate diverse forms of data - such as medical imaging, genomic data and patient health records – to develop robust AI tools that aid early diagnosis across a range of cancer types. The ultimate aim is translating our research and building tools for cancer diagnosis.
