Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A)
today announced that Saeed Hassanpour, Ph.D., has received the 2019
Agilent Early Career Professor Award (AECPA). Dr. Hassanpour is a
member at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Norris Cotton Cancer Center
(NCCC) and an associate professor in the Departments of Biomedical
Data Science and Epidemiology at the Geisel School of Medicine at
Dartmouth College, with an adjunct
appointment in Computer Science.
The goal of the Hassanpour lab is to develop computational
methods and tools for extracting and organizing biomedical
knowledge from unstructured data. The lab's knowledge extraction
frameworks aim at distilling meaning from heterogeneous, complex,
and massive amounts of biomedical data, improving the understanding
of medical conditions and health care.
Dr. Hassanpour has developed novel deep-learning approaches and
data-driven methods for biomedical applications. Current research
in his lab focuses on the use of deep learning technology for
histopathological characterization of colorectal polyps to improve
colon-cancer screening, as well as on other cancer types and
imaging modalities.
“NCCC is thrilled about Saeed Hassanpour’s Early Career
Professor Award from Agilent. It acknowledges his groundbreaking
contributions to the development of machine learning approaches to
cancer diagnostics,” said Steven Leach, M.D., director of the
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Norris Cotton Cancer Center and the Preston T.
and Virginia R. Kelsey Distinguished Chair in Cancer at the Geisel
School of Medicine at Dartmouth College.
“Recent and future advances in pathology rely heavily on the
applications of deep learning and artificial intelligence solutions
to advance cancer diagnostics,” said Jack Wenstrand, Ph.D.,
director of University Relations and External Research at Agilent.
“Consequently, our products and solutions in this space and our
customers will benefit from research in this important area.”
The AECPA is an annual program that
recognizes–and supports–promising research from professors who,
early in their careers, show outstanding potential for future
research in areas of importance to the communities we serve. This
award underscores Agilent's commitment to furthering research
through the company's products and services, financial support, and
collaborative engagement by Agilent scientists and engineers.
