The Williamson Lab
Research at the Intersection of AI and Pathology at Emory School of Medicine
About us
The Williamson Lab harnesses information in pathology data using state-of-the-art deep learning techniques to improve diagnosis and treatment options for patients. The lab is led by board certified pathologist Drew FK Williamson, MD.
The Williamson Lab is part of the Emory Empathetic AI for Health Institute and the AI.Humanity initiative at Emory University. The lab is housed with the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine in the Emory University School of Medicine with close ties to the Departments of Biomedical Informatics and Biomedical Engineering at Emory and GA Tech.
OUR PRIMARY FOCUS AREAS
Using deep learning-based models for multimodal analysis of pathology data to better understand human disease.
Studying the clinical implementation of such models to maximize patient benefit.
