On July 21st, Luke Polson successfully defended his PhD dsseration, with the title, "Advancing Quantitative SPECT with Open-Source Image Reconstruction, Uncertainty Estimation, and Image Generation Optimization". A great journey by Luke in our Qurit Lab.
On June 3rd, Shadab Ahamed successfully defended his PhD dissertation, titled, "Deep-Learning-Guided Image Generation, Enhancement and Analysis: With Applications to Nuclear Medicine Imaging". It's been a real pleasure having Shadab as part of the Qurit team.
Our lab loves to help define and collaborate on Capstone Projects. This past year (2024-25) we had two outstanding UBC Mechanical Engineering Undergraduate teams pursue their Capstone Project with us. The two projects were on:
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").
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"
No comments. A picture is worth ...
Congratulations to Dr. Cassandra Miller for successfully defending her PhD dissertation today. Very valuable efforts in our exciting field.
Thesis title, "An Analysis of Imaging and Biological Effects Impacting Theranostic Dosimetry using Radiopharmaceutical Pairs"
Celebrating 3 upcoming masters graduations and a baby shower!!
We have a post-doc opening (Vancouver, BC, Canada) in Theranostics and Dosimetry.
BC Cancer Foundation is the fundraising partner of BC Cancer, which includes BC Cancer Research. Together with our donors, we are changing cancer outcomes for British Columbians by funding innovative research and personalized treatment and care.
