Purpose
Focus Area
01
Pathology Image Analytics
Combine digital imaging with computational methods to improve the accuracy and efficiency of pathological assessments. The team uses advanced image processing and machine learning techniques to analyse pathological images, such as tissue sections, biopsies, and other medical images, to aid in disease diagnosis and prognosis.
02
Polar Research
Understand how polar environments are affected by global phenomena such as climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss, and how these regions, in turn, influence global climate patterns and sea levels.
03
Infectious Diseases
Capture the full potential for synergy at the interface of microbial genomics, ecology and functional genetics to address major challenges in infectious diseases in developing countries.
