Development of a Histology Image Visualization Tool with Integrated Molecular Prediction Capabilities

  • Programme:

    A*STAR Research Internship Award
  • Research Area:

    NA
  • Research Institute:

    Bioinformatics Institute (BII)

Project Description

This project aims to develop a cloud-based histology image visualization tool with integrated molecular prediction capabilities. Leveraging the AWS platform, the tool will ensure seamless scalability, secure data handling, and high computational performance. The architecture will support easy deployment and accessibility, enabling clinical and non-computational collaborators to use the tool with minimal technical requirements, thus facilitating broader translational research and clinical adoption.
