Current Projects Collaborators

Ongoing Colloborations and Partners

Department of Radiation Medicine of Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC): is an international leader in cancer therapy and major training center of the CyberKnife system. Recently they just developed and installed a state of the art Proton Therapy System, the only such system in the region. Our primary research collaboration is outcomes of analysis of Prostate Cancer Therapy delivered by the CyberKnife system. In the past one of our faculty members Dr. Kenneth Wong was involved in synchronizing CyberKnife system with patient breathing motion.

Computational Bioinformatics and Bio-imaging Laboratory (CBIL): is constructed of electrical and computer engineering researchers by training who have developed a great interest in multiscale, computational, integrative, and systems biomedical sciences, mainly inspired by our curiosity about the process of discovery. We enjoy close collaborations with biologists and physicians, and these partnerships provide us with the opportunities to learn new things, to ask new questions, and to pursue new discoveries. Our major research partners include Georgetown University Medical Center, Children's National Medical Center, Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, National Institutes of Health, Food and Drug Administration, and Howard Hughes Janelia Farm Campus.

We are developing a research and educational program of excellence in computational bioinformatics and bio-imaging, with an emphasis on the strategic frontier between computational intelligence and the biomedical sciences and on the truly interdisciplinary nature of educating future scientists and engineers.

Artificial Intelligence Resource (AIR) Program of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) of NIH: The goal of Artificial Intelligence Resource (AIR) is to make AI tools available to Center for Cancer Research (CCR) investigators. The strength of AI is that algorithms can be trained to seek specific information that may be scientifically or clinically important.  AIR will mainly focus on “Computer Vision” which analyzes medical images, such as radiologic, digital pathology, video/endoscopy and optical imaging among others.  Examples of potential projects include developing better screening, detection methods or predictive markers, or improving procedures among many others.
