Deep Learning For Histology Image Analysis
With the recent expansions of whole-slide digital scanning, archiving, and high-throughput tissue banks, the field of digital pathology is primed to benefit significantly from deep learning technology. This talk will cover new deep-learning-based methods for pathology slide analysis which have shown promising results for histologic characterization of the slides.
Speaker Profile
M.D., MSCI, Assistant Professor, University of Washington
Biography
Aaron Y. Lee MD MSCI is focused on the translation of novel computation techniques including deep learning for automated diagnosis and to uncover new pathophysiologic mechanisms in routine clinical data from large electronic health databases. His main areas of research include age-related macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease, and macular telangiectasia. He has published over 50 peer reviewed manuscripts and editorials. Dr. Lee is an assistant professor and vitreoretinal surgeon at University of Washington, Department of Ophthalmology. He has served on the American Academy of Ophthalmology Medical Information Technology Committee and the American Academy of Ophthalmology IRIS Analytics Task Force. Dr. Lee received his BA in Biochemistry from Harvard University. He then completed his MD and Masters of Science in Clinical Investigations from the Washington University of St Louis. After an internship at St. John’s hospital, he returned to Washington University to complete his ophthalmology residency. He then completed two fellowships: a medical retina fellowship at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London, and a vitreoretinal surgical fellowship at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver Canada.
