Professor Gabriel Landini, together with Dr David Randell, Prof Hisham Mehanna (Birmingham University) and Dr Antony Galton (Exeter University) have been awarded a research grant worth £657,383 by the EPSRC for a project entitled Novel context-based segmentation algorithms for intelligent microscopy. The aim of the project is to develop new computational methods to analyse, quantify and understand the information contained in images of cells and tissues obtained using digital microscopy. Their work will have wide applications in various areas of biomedicine, especially in histopathology, where they plan to apply the methods to samples of oropharyngeal cancer, with the aim of improving diagnosis and predicting the potential behaviour of malignant disease to find the most suitable forms of treatment.
