Cancel cell image analysis to understand progression of brain cancers

This project focuses on analyzing and interpreting cancer cell images to gain insights into the progression of brain cancers. Students will learn about image processing, machine learning, and data analysis techniques to extract meaningful information from medical images. By studying the characteristics and behavior of cancer cells, students can contribute to the field of oncology and potentially enhance diagnostic and treatment strategies for brain cancers.

It is not a lecture program. On the contrary, it is a training module that teaches how to conduct research, project development, teamwork and task distribution, and report preparation in the company of academics and professionals. Apart from the meetings, the participant may need to work extra, individually and as a team, for approximately 4 hours per week.
