Our Team
We’re a multicultural team of scientists, researchers and programmers from disciplines such as physics, engineering and computer science. We are located at the BC Cancer Research Institute, a PHSA and University of British Columbia (UBC) research institute, in close connection with the clinical environment and having collaborations with researchers from other disciplines.
Joining Us
If you’re interested in applications of physics, engineering, math and/or computer science to help cure cancer, and to familiarize yourself with techniques such as artificial intelligence and digital twins, we invite you to talk to us. We actively recruit students, postdocs, volunteers, interns, and visiting students from around the world. If you are proactive and like to stay updated with the exciting pace of developments and applications in molecular imaging and therapy, AI, and digital twins, you may be a great fit for our team and we for you; see our OPEN POSITIONS
Our Collaborators
We have collaborations with the industry, and some of our close partners include General Electric, Siemens, Microsoft and MIM. This gives our team members the opportunity to also gain skills that are valuable for translation of our methods to routine clinical practice.

Collaborators Meeting
Had a highly-energizing 2-day collaborators meeting (Jan 28 and 29th, 2025) at the BC Cancer Research Institute on our jointly funded Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Project Grant with Laval University Colleagues (PJT-180251, "Towards Personalized Dosimetry-Based Radioligand Therapy of Prostate Cancer as a New Standard of Practice").

MASc dissertation defence
Congratulations to Obed Dzikuni for having successfully defended his UBC Biomedical Engineering MASc dissertation defence, titled, "Automated Detection and Segmentation of Metastatic Prostate Cancer Lesions in PET/CT Images via Deep Neural Networks Towards Accurate and Routine Quantification of Clinical Metrics"

Science done joyfully together!
