Abstract: will be announced here.
Marit Valla leads the research group Artificial intelligence and digital pathology in cancer (AICAN) which studies the use of artificial intelligence in the interpretation of histopathological slides from cancer. AICAN is a cross disciplinary research group involving NTNU, St. Olavs hospital, Levanger hospital and SINTEF. They use artificial intelligence in the interpretation of histopathological slides from cancer. The group's goal is to establish methods able to predict biological properties and prognosis in cancer. Initially they have been working on breast cancer, but they are now expanding their research to also include lung cancer. They use established biobanks from NTNU/St. Olavs hospital, and collect tissue from collaborating partners nationally and abroad.
