The research lab led by Minhaj Nur Alam focuses on using advanced machine learning techniques to improve the diagnosis and treatment of diabetic retinopathy, a significant cause of vision loss. By utilizing federated learning and multi-modal optical coherence tomography data, the lab develops powerful AI models that can analyze complex imaging data from multiple institutions while maintaining patient privacy. Their work aims to enhance early detection and treatment outcomes for patients suffering from diabetic retinopathy.
