I’m studying how to locate individual cells in patient tissue images, and also working on a project of finding small molecule drugs to treat rheumatoid arthritis.

Field of study:  Medical Image Analysis/Drug Discovery

Why did you pursue this project?

I’ve always been interested in computer vision, where computers can be taught how to process images. While computer vision has been applied to biomedical imaging like CT, MRI, and X-ray, I found that tissue images, specifically multiplexed images, were not being as heavily researched. Alongside my mentor from the Mahmood Lab at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, I created a new algorithm for locating where individual cells are in these images automatically, a fundamental process to allow scientists to analyze how disease proliferates at the cell-to-cell level across hundreds, if not thousands of these images. 

I’m also working on a small molecule drug project. I’ve been interested in drug discovery because of it’s direct clinical application. Currently, using computational structure-based methods, I have found potential small molecule inhibitors of enzymes that are prevalent in RA.
