VISION Lab
Visual Intelligence for Scalable Imaging and Open-source iNnovation
Advancing computational pathology, multiplex imaging, and visual intelligence through open鈥憇ource, scalable AI research.
About the Lab
The VISION Lab advances research at the intersection of computational pathology, multiplex tissue imaging, computer vision, and scalable AI. We develop novel methods, software tools, and machine learning models that enable high鈥憆esolution analysis of whole鈥憇lide images, multiplex and immunofluorescence imaging platforms, and multimodal biomedical datasets. A central focus of the lab is the quantitative characterisation of the tumour microenvironment, including tumour-immune interactions and spatial cellular organisation across diverse cancer types.
We place particular emphasis on spatial and multiplex immunofluorescence imaging to study tissue heterogeneity, cell-cell interactions, and disease mechanisms at single鈥慶ell and tissue scales. Through the development of open鈥憇ource, reproducible, and trustworthy AI tools such as TIAToolbox, we aim to empower global research communities with robust, scalable solutions for tissue analytics and digital pathology.
Our mission is to translate visual intelligence into practical, clinically relevant solutions by collaborating across disciplines, including pathology, oncology, radiology, computer science, and systems biology. Through international partnerships and a commitment to open innovation, VISION Lab aims to shape the future of AI鈥慸riven imaging, digital diagnostics, and data鈥慸riven understanding of the tumour microenvironment.
