A research program focused on early detection and epidemiological research on skin cancer. We have been developing artificial intelligence and traditional machine learning methods for detecting skin cancer from photographs taken by digital cameras and smartphones. New devices and technologies are also being developed to compliment the advanced software techniques. The melanoma probe (pictured above) is based on the phenomenon of optical polarization, and was developed to help provide a new source of rapid skin lesion information. The research team also investigates the prognosis and risk factors of melanoma, exploring new ways to extract and analyze information from both biopsied samples and patients in vivo.
