Scientist - Tiwari Research Lab

Overview

The Department of Radiology, University of Wisconsin - Madison, School of Medicine & Public Health is seeking a Scientist I to play a key role in developing and translating next generation radiomics (machine learning in radiology imaging) methods for projects in Dr. Pallavi Tiwari's lab. The research uses medical imaging and clinical data to build and optimize AI and machine learning models that identify image-based phenotypes and their associations with genomics and histopathology for disease characterization, with the aim of developing personalized diagnostic tools for improved early diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment response for neurological conditions and other diseases.
