The Imaging Systems Engineer develops and integrates embedded control systems, custom circuitry, and software user interfaces for high-speed automated microscopic imaging systems and work closely with a multidisciplinary team to ensure the success of the project.
Tulane's School of Science and Engineering is beginning a multi-year project to improve outcomes for prostate and colorectal cancer surgical patients.
The project will involve rapidly scanning tumor excisions with high resolution and precision and then using advanced machine-learning techniques to detect residual tumor cells on the surface.
The project will create a device to scan and present results to a surgeon while still in the operating room.
This state-of-the-art device will be at the forefront of cancer treatment.
