I work with digital image analysis and deep learning in pathology, with a main focus on rectal cancer. Currently, I am working on developing a new objective digital method to perform tumor regression grading after neoadjuvant therapy in rectal cancer. Further, I am interested in finding prognostic and predictive biomarkers in the tumor microenvironment of rectal cancer, following neoadjuvant therapy.
