Are you looking for the next challenge?
Mediri is an innovative company offering medical image services for clinical trials. While offering state-of-the-art technology for secure image upload and processing tailored to the individual customer needs, mediri has a strong research track tenure and is collaborating with universities and research institutions in numerous scientific projects on advancing image analysis and diagnosis support.
We are looking for a talented and motivated PhD student to take part in the Doctorate Network “BOSOMSHIELD” (a Marie Sklodowska – Curie DoctorateAction).
You will be part of an international European network community of doctorate candidates working on a comprehensive CAD (computer assisted diagnosis) system based on radiologic and pathologic image biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis of breast cancer relapse. The main objective of the research project is to develop a CAD system prototype which combines decentralized support of federated learning models for multi-modal image processing with a secure cloud-based image analysis platform, which will be easily accessible via web browser while preserving data privacy. Your scientific primary objective will be to develop, investigate and evaluate the federated learning concept targeted to the specific projects need, combined with the cloud system. Furthermore, you will integrate the resulting deep learning models in the commercial mTRIAL system workflow at mediri, developing iteratively the integration of a modality independent learning pipeline which can be applied on real patient data within the European project.
PhD Offering
