Neda Haj Hosseini

Associate Professor, Docent

I am an associate professor in biomedical engineering at the Department of Biomedical Engineering (IMT). My research focus is on innovative multimodal engineering solutions for cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Beating Cancer: Innovative Engineering Solutions for Cancer and Oncology Diagnostics and Treatment

The burden of cancer can be reduced by prevention, early detection and appropriate treatment with innovative technologies playing a major role in the procedures. Most of the techniques, however, require trained clinical specialists for interpretation and diagnosis that can be an obstacle for implementation on a large scale. The ongoing artificial intelligence (AI) revolution has tackled previously unsolvable analytic tasks and enabled automatic data interpretation that could address this challenge.
Our research focuses on implementing optical imaging, radiology and molecular information in combination with AI to improve an early and accurate cancer diagnosis.

Research

Biomedical Optics

Biomedical Optics studies the basic principles of interaction between light and biological tissues, cells and molecules and develops new technologies for use in basic research and clinical applications.

Biomedical Image Science

We develop methods & techniques for depicting anatomy & function in the human body & its organs. From imaging techniques, through methods of analysis and quantification of image information, to validation of new methods and image-based biomarkers

Novel Technologies for Brain Tumor Diagnostics

This project proposes, a combination of MR images with optical measurements correlated to multidimensional histology images that gives a unique insight into tumor tissue microscopic structure.

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)

In this project, OCT鈥檚 potentials for intra-operative and postoperative (laboratory) pathology diagnostics are investigated.

VIS/NIR fluorescence for surgical guidance

Fluorophores are widely used biomarkers in biology and medicine. In these projects the optical spectroscopy and imaging systems are evaluated for fluorescence guided surgery.
