About the role
The medical profession has known for more than years that it is possible to detect signs of general health through eye examination, from high blood pressure to anaemia to kidney failure. However, the recent combination of: 1) advanced retinal imaging, 2) advanced MRI data, and 3) rapid progress in artificial intelligence (AI), promises to supercharge this capability.
The role focuses on integrating two distinct data sets: advanced retinal imaging and MRI brain MRI. The postholder will be responsible for defining ways for integrating the two datasets, and for exploring how pathologies across different organs interact. By leveraging cutting-edge AI approaches, the aim is to enhance predictive power for disease screening and early diagnosis, while deepening understanding of mechanisms underlying disease pathogenesis.
The salary range is £45, - £49, max
This role is an open-ended contract with a funding end date of 2 years after the start date, but not exceeding the project end date.
