Cancer & Physical Sciences Members
The Cancer & Physical Sciences Program unites fundamental chemistry, physical sciences and bioengineering groups that focus on developing cancer-relevant therapeutic and diagnostic agents using nano-scale materials and physical sciences approaches.
Backman, Vadim
Professor
Bio
My research focus bridges advances in biophotonics and cancer research. The work spans from the basic physics of light-tissue interaction to development of new optical imaging and sensing technologies... [more]
Bagci, Ulas
Associate Professor
Bio
Machine Learning for Biomedical Imaging Artificial Intelligence for Medicine. Specifically, I have been focusing on two sub-fields of AI: 1) explainable/interpretable deep learning and 2) human-center... [more]
Cooper, Lee
Associate Professor
Bio
My lab focuses on the applications of machine learning in cancer and fundamental research in machine learning. We develop algorithms to predict clinical outcomes from genomic, imaging, and histopathol... [more]
Dravid, Vinayak
Professor
Bio
Development of innovative imaging tools/techniques from atoms to animals; and diagnostic/sensing platform that integrates physical science and engineering with biology and biomedicine.
Efimov, Igor
Professor
Bio
Cardio-oncology, cardiotoxicity of cancer therapeutics, cell signaling involved in cancer and heart failure pathogenesis, implantable devices and imaging
Espinosa, Horacio
