Moving Towards Precision Medicine

How can we harness the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning to identify tailored treatments for patients with cancer? Dr. Amber Simpson, Canada Research Chair in Biomedical Computing and Informatics, seeks to transform how clinicians treat patients with cancer using a data-driven approach. By defining relevant biomarkers to guide targeted treatments, and ultimately improve human health, she will move the field from the “treat everyone to help a few” paradigm towards precision medicine.

Staying safe in the new digital world

Software You Can Depend On

Software systems now permeate almost every aspect of our daily lives, making their dependability far more crucial than ever before. Software dependability is also a prerequisite for making digital information more useful and trustworthy. Since software failures and security breaches take place virtually daily, it has become vitally important to design and implement software systems with as much security and reliability as possible.

Intelligent Solutions for Ultralarge Software

Ultralarge-scale (ULS) services like Gmail, Interac, and BlackBerry need to manage millions of users performing billions of transactions daily, with no downtime. These software-intensive services must cope with unprecedented problems of scale that dwarf the issues facing traditional software systems.

Open Source Surgery Systems

Modern surgery requires a team of doctors, nurses, assistants … and computers. As the Canada Research Chair in Computer-Integrated Surgery, Dr. Gabor Fichtinger explores the potential for computers to assist and enhance surgeries and medical interventions for precision and more effective results. He studies a wide-range of applications such as medical imaging, image computing, scientific visualization, surgical planning and navigation, robotics, and biosensors to integrate them into systems for clinical use.
