Welcome to the Medical Image Computing Lab
We are a research group at the United Arab Emirates University, Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering. Our lab focuses on developing AI and machine learning solutions for medical image analysis, cancer diagnostics, and cerebrovascular modeling.
Research Focus
Our research spans several key areas in medical AI and computational biology:
- Medical Image Analysis: Advanced algorithms for MRI, CT, and microscopy imaging
- AI for Cancer Diagnostics: Foundation models for precision oncopathology
- Cerebrovascular Modeling: Network analysis and hemodynamic simulations
- Brain Connectivity: Deep learning approaches to structural connectivity analysis
- Computer-Aided Diagnostics: Automated systems for clinical decision support
Open Source Tools
We develop and maintain several open-source software tools:
- VascGraph - Vascular network segmentation and analysis
- VirtualMRI - Monte Carlo simulation of MRI responses
- AngioPulse - Pulsatile blood flow dynamics simulation
Collaborations
We collaborate with leading institutions worldwide including McGill University, Polytechnique Montréal, American University in Cairo, University of Arizona, and Emory University.
Funding
Our research is supported by strategic grants including the UAEU Strategic Research Program (AED 737K), joint research programs with American University of Antigua (AED 300K), and UAEU Advanced Research Awards.
