About this position
The OctoPath Lab at the University of California, Irvine is recruiting postdoctoral researchers to develop AI methods for medicine and pathology. The project centers on deep learning and computational approaches for pathology image analysis, multimodal data integration, and the analysis of additional medical data types such as proteomics, spatial transcriptomics, genomics, and radiology.
The lab led by Prof. Jana Lipkova focuses on building AI systems that support diagnosis, prognosis, treatment-response prediction, and treatment optimization. Research directions include novel methods for pathology data analysis, multimodal fusion, computational approaches for rare diseases and emerging modalities such as multiphoton microscopy, and translation of AI into clinical practice through embedded devices.
The position is embedded in the UCI School of Medicine and connected to the Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center, the UCI School of Biomedical Engineering, and UCI Health. The research environment includes collaboration with teaching hospitals, community hospitals, biotechnology and healthcare startups, and partner universities and medical centers in the USA and Europe, offering a strong translational and interdisciplinary setting.
