Biomedical Imaging and Data Science Lab
About Us
The Biomedical Imaging and Data Science Lab (BIDSLab) directed by Prof. Joyita Dutta, is part of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. BIDSLab is an engineering and data science lab and maintain deep ties with hospital-based researchers and physicians in the Boston area and beyond. Our broad research goal is to develop signal processing and artificial intelligence (AI) based solutions to a range of inverse problems, including biomedical image processing and reconstruction, brain network analysis, and electrophysiological signal processing for healthcare applications. Several of our ongoing research projects are focused on the development of AI-based approaches to aid the diagnosis and prognosis of Alzheimer's disease.
