Summary
The Data Engineer I oversees the storage, processing, and management of petabytes (PBs) of medical imagery, ensuring the integrity and availability of this critical data.
Tulane's School of Science and Engineering is beginning a multi-year project to improve outcomes for prostate and colorectal cancer surgical patients. The project will involve rapidly scanning tumor excisions with high resolution and precision and then using advanced machine-learning techniques to detect residual tumor cells on the surface. The project will create a device to scan and present results to a surgeon while still in the operating room. This state-of-the-art device will be at the forefront of cancer treatment.
