Engineer software solutions and manage the clinical data pipeline.
•
Apply advanced image analysis techniques, including segmentation, feature extraction, and quantification of cellular phenotypes and spatial patterns.
•
Develop and implement
AI/ML models
(e.g., deep learning approaches for segmentation, classification, or predictive modeling) tailored to biomedical imaging data.
•
Integrate multi-modal data to identify biomarkers and inform treatment decisions in a translational context.
•
Create and maintain custom scripts and pipelines to automate and streamline data processing workflows.
•
Summarize key findings in concise, actionable reports for clinical collaborators.
•
Collaborate closely with, biologists, and other data experts to interpret results and refine analyses.
