SREP student at CIALAB

The Ohio State University Center for Clinical & Translational Science (OSU CCTS) received an NIH grant to create a Summer Research Experience Program (SREP) for high school students and teachers. This funding is part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and funds high school students and high school teachers in summer 2009. India Eaton from Eastmoor Academy has joined the CIALAB this summer as an SREP student. India is planning on attending Cleveland State University on the Honors Program scholarship. She will be majoring in mechanical engineering.

CIALAB encouraging talented young minds with summer internships

CIALAB is pleased to introduce the three interns namely Tong Gan, Rosana Rodriguez Milanes and Michael Priddy working through summer’09. Rosana Rodriguez Milanes - I am a third year undergraduate student in Electronic Engineering from Universidad del Norte, Colombia. My experience as a volunteer foreign student in the Clinical Image Analysis Laboratory has been an edifying, gratifying and enriching. Being able to participate, to learn and to collaborate in the Clinical Image Analysis Laboratory during the past two weeks has allowed me to improve my analytical and interpretative skills in processing histopathological and MRI images. I have been able to learn about segmentation, region growing, splitting and merging algorithms development. I have also had the privilege of knowing and interacting with excellent engineers who have helped me improve my skills as a foreign student. I am grateful for the opportunity that the Ohio State University has given me to collaborate and to learn with...

Recent publications

The CIA lab has recently had 4 articles published in PLOS One and the Journal of Urology. Automated Staging Of T1 Bladder Cancer Using Digital Pathologic H&E Images: A Deep Learning approach (Journal of Urology). The paper discusses the need for accurately gauging tumor cell intrusion into Lamina Propria in an effort to substage bladder cancer. It explains how transfer learning in conjunction with Convolutional Neural Networks can be used to accurately identify different bladder layers and then compute the distance between tumor nuclei and Lamina Propria. The article is available here: https://www.jurology.com/article/S0022-5347(18)41148-2/pdf Identifying tumor in pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms from Ki67 images using transfer learning (PLOS One). This paper examines a proposed methodology to automatically differentiate between NET and non-tumor regions based on images of Ki67 stained biopsies. It also uses transfer learning to exploit a rich set of features ...

BMI researchers to receive prestigious Intramural Award

BMI researcher Metin Gurcan, PhD (Professor, Director of Division of Clinical and Translational Informatics) in collaboration with Anil Parwani, MD, PhD, MBA (Vice Chair of Pathology) and Cheryl Lee, MD (Chair of Urology) have been awarded one of the prestigious OSU Comprehensive Cancer Center Intramural Research Funding Awards. The research team for the project also includes Soledad Fernandez, PhD (BMI), Nancy Single (CCC), Khalid Niazi, PhD (BMI) and Brett Klamer, MS (BMI). The two-year project, entitled Application of image analysis tools to accurately stage and risk stratify patients with T1 bladder cancer, will be primarily funded by Pelotonia dollars. Pelotonia is a three-day bike tour organized every year in Columbus to raise money for cancer research with one goal: “End Cancer.” Every rider-raised dollar goes to fund research at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center. Bladder cancer is an important disease that affects nearly 77,000 people annuall...
