Computational Histology

Analysis of histology images of the human tissue biopsies remains the most reliable way of diagnosing and grading cancer. The current gold-standard for quantification and diagnostics based on prepared slides of human tissue is often a human expert looking through a microscope at the slides.

Our aim is to enhance and extend this expensive and time-consuming process by performing automated analysis of high-resolution images of tissue. This investigation involves designing a combination of algorithms, scanners, stains and biomarkers that allow fast and accurate identification of aspects of clinical interest.
