This project will for the first time integrate cellular tissue morphology and multispectral tissue analysis into a surgical platform for simultaneous brain tumour identification and neurological functionality assessment.
Multi Spectral Imaging (MSI) will be used during macroscopic tissue assessment to improve tumour identification and detect eloquent brain areas by visualising changes in tissue oxygenation.probe-based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (pCLE) will allow direct visualisation of the tissue on a microscopic scale to unveil cellular morphology and identify tumour remnants and infiltration.Artifical Intelligence (AI) algorithms will be developed to assist intraoperative surgical navigation, guide precise tissue scanning, and support real-time diagnosis.The post holder will be required to undertake a leading role in the research project as directed by Miss Sophie Camp, along with any other nominated academic supervisors. The research will entail project design, and translational experimental work, in addition to data analysis and reporting the results in peer-reviewed journals.
