Amyloidosis is a rare disease characterized by a buildup of abnormal amyloid deposits in the body. Amyloid deposits can build up in the heart, brain, kidneys, spleen and other parts of the body. Amyloid in the heart reduces the ability to fill with blood between heartbeats. Less blood is pumped with each beat, and the patient experience shortness of breath. If amyloidosis affects your heart's ele

Ultrasonic contrast-free microvascular imaging using ultrafast Doppler is an emerging technology which has enabled microvascular imaging in brain, tumor vascularization imaging, and functional ultrasound. However, the technology has, as far as we know, mostly be used in situations with little or no motion artefacts and using clinical transducer frequencies. The rabbit pup brain is a very useful mo

The goniometer employs the same light sources as the multispectral microscope, but has an extended capability to measure the scattering properties of a sample by determining the preferred angles light choses to scatter into. The goniometer is therefore important when characterizing the optical properties of human tissue, which in turn lays a foundation for proper interpretation of signals generate

Knowledge of how blood perfusion is affected during and after reconstructive surgery is of great importance to predict the survival of grafts and flaps. When commonly used reconstructive procedures were developed a century ago, they were based on empirical observations of clinical outcome. However, today modern, non-invasive techniques are available to monitor perfusion during and after surgery. A

Malaria is responsible for over half a million deaths annually, however, these are primarily in the developing parts of the World. The reason why it remains a problem in only a few places is because the incidence is particularly high and the methods of diagnosing the parasitic illness are not efficient enough. Moreover, understanding the behaviour of the plasmodium parasite vector (the female Ano

The purpose of this project is to develop and evaluate three non-invasive examination methods for the diagnosis of breast tumors, namely photoacoustics, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and ultrasound-based tissue characteristics. It is our hope that the methods will be used for primary diagnostic of breast cancer, planning of breast cancer surgery but also to evaluate the given preoperative cance

Gaining insights into neural tube regulation and optimizing protocols for dopaminergic neuron generation require a novel framework integrating gene circuit models with morphogen inputs. Optimized using single-cell data from human embryonic stem cell differentiation (provided by Kirkeby lab, Copenhagen University, Parmar lab, Lund University), these models will capture rostro-caudal and dorso-ventr

T-cell development serves as a powerful model for studying lineage commitment from multipotent progenitors. To investigate the timing and inheritance of T-cell fate decisions, multi-scale agent-based models are designed, optimized, and validated using single-cell molecular and imaging data from the Rothenberg lab at Caltech.

This project focuses on direct reprogramming of adult human dermal fibroblasts into induced neurons and induced microglia, preserving the aging signature of the original patient cells. A multi-scale computational model is developed for a 3D cell culture system integrating both cell types from the same skin biopsy, enabling the first study of neuron-microglia interactions in an aging human-based sy

A deep learning method is proposed for detecting tumor genes based on their unique combined epigenetic signatures. Large volumes of epigenetic data will be processed by the Tomoiaga group at Manhattan College and Columbia. This data will be utilized to train and validate deep network models capable of accurately detecting epigenetic patterns, which can then be leveraged for the classification of g

The reprogramming of fibroblasts into induced pluripotent stem cells remains inefficient and not fully understood. The goal is to use machine learning and mechanistic modelling to identify barriers to reprogramming from in vitro data provided by Kaji Lab at the University of Edinburgh. Addressing these barriers could improve reprogramming efficiency and increase stem cell production. Additionally,

We propose a machine learning framework in which neural network models are trained and validated using hyperspectral tumor imaging data. These models are integrated with segmentation algorithms to accurately predict the tumor’s actual size and determine the optimal amount of tissue to remove. Beyond improving surgical precision, our approach also holds the potential to accurately classify tumor ty
