Innovative Cancer Screening

Combining topological data analysis with experimental validation for advanced cancer detection methods.

Innovative Cancer Screening Solutions

We leverage topological data analysis for advanced cancer screening, combining theoretical insights with experimental validation to enhance accuracy and robustness in medical data.

A large, modern medical imaging machine, possibly a CT scanner, is situated in a clean and well-lit medical room. The machine is white with grey accents and features a circular opening with a long table extending from it, which can slide the patient in for scanning. On the side of the scanner, there are control panels with digital displays and buttons.

TDA Benefits

Enhancing accuracy and robustness in cancer screening methods.

A microscopic image showcasing a cluster of cells. The cells are vibrant with green, red, and blue fluorescence, indicating various staining or molecular labeling. The majority of the cells are tightly packed in the upper portion, while fewer cells are scattered below against a dark background.

A microscopic view showcasing cells arranged in layers, featuring various shapes and sizes. Predominantly pinkish-purple hues with darker circular structures scattered throughout suggest staining techniques often used in biological imaging. The image has clear, defined boundaries with a white background separating the sections.

Detailed map displaying data visualization with blue circular markers representing specific data points across a geographical area labeled with city names such as Lisbon and Evora. Bold, brightly colored numerical statistics appear on the left side with the terms 'Suspeitos' and 'Amostras,' suggesting a context of data tracking or analysis.
