The Yale School of Medicine 3D Tumor Lab, led by Frank Buono, PhD, a research scientist in psychiatry, has been selected to participate in the U.S. National Science Foundation Innovation Corps (I-Corps) program.
I-Corps is an immersive, entrepreneurial training program that helps researchers bring their inventions to market. The experiential training program lasts seven weeks and prepares scientists and engineers to move their projects toward commercialization.
The 3D Tumor Lab was selected for its AI-powered precision imaging that transforms MRI into reliable, reproducible 3D tumor measurements for clinical care.
The lab’s mission is to enhance the accessibility and precision of 3D tumor growth analysis. Its researchers aim to advance from manual segmentation to an automated system that generates 3D models of tumors with the click of a button, ultimately offering patients improved chances for recovery and survival.
Other members of the 3D Tumor Lab team who will participate in the program are Katie Howard, MS, postgraduate assistant, and Rithvik Ghankot, MS, research assistant.
