Medical Imaging COBRE

OU Gallogly College of Engineering, Oklahoma COBRE in Cancer Imaging Research, The University of Oklahoma website wordmark

Oklahoma Center of Medical Imaging for Translational Cancer Research

The objective of this COBRE is to establish a new biomedical imaging research center with appropriate infrastructure and research capacity along with a multidisciplinary mentoring team to support the promising research project leaders of junior investigators as they conduct innovative translational cancer research projects. The success of COBRE will ultimately have a high research and clinical impact, leading to a reduced cancer burden both for individual patients and society. 

Mission

This COBRE aims to enhance the capability of conducting multidisciplinary medical imaging technology and informatics-related translational cancer research on both the OU Norman and OUHSC campuses.

Vision

Promoting close and effective collaboration between biomedical engineering researchers and physician scientists on two OU campuses can significantly increase the efficacy and translational clinical impact of research projects.

Research Themes

In order to improve cancer detection and diagnosis accuracy and/or treatment efficacy using medical imaging and informatics technology, the research topics of the COBRE include but are not limited to:

  • Develop novel investigative medical imaging modalities and technologies to more sensitively detect tumors and monitor tumor response to treatment.
  • Identify and develop new quantitative imaging markers using advanced image processing and AI-based technology.
  • Assess the efficacy of the investigative cancer therapy drugs or procedures using medical imaging methods.
  • Develop new machine learning (ML) based prediction models that fuse both imaging and genomic biomarkers.
