Gertych Lab
The Gertych Laboratory focuses on bioimage informatics by applying high-content image analysis and high throughput cytometry to systematically study cellular phenotypes in the context of biomarkers and their subcellular organization. Our research includes implementation of pattern recognition techniques for quantitative characterization of cellular and tissue specimens to enhance perception of human vision and expand diagnostic capabilities in the era of digital pathology and computational biology. Our research contributes to multidisciplinary efforts to develop robust computer-aided diagnostic and screening platforms.
The Gertych Laboratory is affiliated with the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine and Surgery Department.
The Gertych Laboratory is currently interested in bioimage informatics and computational biology research methods to study multidimensional patterns of molecular manifestations in single cells using imaging-based methods. This research includes design and implementation of advanced quantification of biomarkers in 2-D and 3-D images of cells. The long-term goal is to harness multiple “omics” analyses, including molecular data and imaging features, to better understand, characterize, classify and finally link perturbations of selected molecular targets with cancer onset, progression and treatment effects.
