Research

Our research focus is on data-intensive research questions in cancer research and computational pathology. We use artificial intelligence and machine learning to build computational methods and tools capable of human-level accuracy for cancer diagnostics, grading and subtyping. Our recent work has focused on developing artificial intelligence for prostate cancer diagnostics and grading, breast cancer diagnostics, and on developing multimodal artificial intelligence for histopathology.

Digital pathology is rapidly transforming the workflow in routine diagnostics, and our goal is to enable faster, less subjective and in some cases even more accurate diagnostics through computational pathology enabled by modern machine learning. We anticipate that besides enabling decision support for tasks currently done by human experts, computational pathology has the potential for novel discoveries from histopathology beyond the limits of human vision.

Virtual staining research in the news! Two new articles published on label-free histology

Our studies on generative neural network based virtual staining of unstained tissue images obtained with regular brightfield microscopy were covered in press release by University of Turku. Read more from on how this promising technology could help in reducing chemical consumption and lead towards more sustainable sample processing in pathology.
