Dr. Passarelli Quoted in Medscape in 2019
Medscape quoted Michael Passarelli, Assistant Professor of Epidemiology, in an article featuring research by other scientists about the risk of cardiovascular disease for patients with colorectal cancer. While colorectal cancer patients have previously relied on body mass index, this study, published in JAMA Oncology, indicates that computed tomography imaging will more accurately predict future risk of […]
Dr. Hassanpour Receives R01 in 2019
Center investigator Saeed Hassanpour has received an R01, “Improving Colorectal Cancer Screening and Risk Assessment Through Deep Learning on Medical Images and Records” to build a novel, automatic, image-analysis method that can accurately detect and classify different types of colorectal polyps on whole-slide microscopic images. Hassanpour’s work seeks to improve […]
