Certification in Supervisory Skills
June 2019University of Pennsylvania
The Supervisory Skills Certificate program provides an introduction to the skills and information necessary to being an effective supervisor within the Perelman School of Medicine (SOM). Instructors for the program represent a variety of offices across the SOM and University, including the Office of General Counsel, the Office of International Programs, the Office of Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity Programs, Perelman SOM Human Resources, and the Office of Organization Effectiveness.
Automatic Non-rigid Histological Image Registration Winner
April 2019IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging
Automatic Non-rigid Histological Image Registration (ANHIR) challenge aims at the automatic nonlinear image registration of 2D microscopy images of histopathology tissue samples stained with different dyes. The task is difficult due to non-linear deformations affecting the tissue samples, different appearance of each stain, repetitive texture, and the large size of the whole slide images. Our team was placed 2nd overall among all competitors and were invited to present our method at the workshop.
