Hi everyone! Our lab twitter is now active on Bluesky, hope to see everyone there! kurtlab.bsky.social
If you are interested in Fairness of AI in Medical Imaging, check our new Youtube Channel with recordings of the events we have been organizing around this topic!
🎥Announcing the Fairness of AI in Medical Imaging (FAIMI) YouTube channel! 🎥 We are happy to share our YouTube channel (lnkd.in/dr8aHBPW) which now contains videos and playlists from multiple FAIMI events. Thanks to Dewinda Julianensi Rumala and Emma Stanley for helping
Thank you for inviting me!
Great visit from Prof. Mehmet Kurt @KurtLabResearch to UC Merced last Friday! We had a lot of fun learning about his team's amazing research on brain biomechanics and neuroimaging!
UW Mechanical Engineering is hiring! We have multiple faculty positions available, including one in medical imaging physics. Please feel free to DM me with any questions and hope you help spread the word! me.washington.edu/about/job-open…
Come and become our colleague @UWBioE! We are hiring a faculty member in medical imaging & AI (see specific areas of interest below), feel free to amplify and contact us if you have any questions!

New 20hr bootcamp on Probability & Statistics!!! Videos released weekly but full playlist already posted: youtube.com/watch?v=sQqnia… Probability & Statistics are cornerstones of data science and machine learning. This course rapidly covers the basics and gets into advanced topics.
Congratulations to our Kurtlab team for winning the ISLES 2024 stroke lesion segmentation challenge at #MICCAI2024 @MICCAI_Society @Tianyi_R @Juampablo_24 @ME_at_UW @UWNeurosurgery


University of Washington biochemist David Baker has won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his pioneering work designing new proteins that can neutralize viruses, target cancer cells, and more. Read more from @uwmedicine: go.uw.edu/2024NobelPrize #NobelPrize #GoHuskies
New paper out in Brain Multiphysics! In this collab. work, we demonstrated that Chiari Malformation I patients have increased brain motion, a potential indicator for surgical outcomes. @ShrivastavaMD @MataiResearch @MountSinaiNeuro @DrMichaelLevitt sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Hi Marrakech! 👋 We will be presenting our deep-learning based brain tumor and stroke lesion segmentation algorithms at #MICCAI2024 @MICCAI_Society, come say hi!

Join us for this exciting September Edition of COMPASS seminar series as Dr. Celia Cintas from IBM Research Africa discusses fairness in machine learning for dermatology! Register here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… @mriuganda @mailab_io @naamii_nepal @The_MiND_Lab

The ALBA Gender & Sexual Diversity working group is running a global survey to understand the experiences of #LGBTQIA+ individuals in #neuroscience (including #psychology & #psychiatry). It takes just 10-20 min, plus a chance to win a gift card! 🧠🏳️🌈🎉 👉 tinyurl.com/LGBTNeuro…
Thrilled to be in Quebec City this week attending the @ISMRM workshop on Motion Correction!

🚨New paper with @ShrivastavaMD in @WorldNeurosurg! We conducted morphometric analysis in CM-1 patients and found that the amount of tissue at the foramen magnum correlates with CM-1 more so than tonsillar length. @MountSinaiNeuro @UWNeurosurgery sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
One of the fun summer projects we have been doing as a lab is to participate in the Brain Tumor Segmentation Challenge (@BraTS_challenge) as part of @MICCAI_Society. Congrats to the team for successfully submitting their algorithms!

Between applying nonlinear dynamics to brain biomechanics research and leading multiple mentorship efforts for LGBTQ+ students in STEM, MechSE alumnus Mehmet Kurt (PhD ME 2014) stays busy: mechse.illinois.edu/news/67801 @stemvillage @KurtLabResearch
Thank you to my alma matter Mechanical Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois @mechseILLINOIS for highlighting our research and LGBTQ+ mentorship activities. You can read more below: mechse.illinois.edu/news/67801
Bonjour Paris! I am excited to attend MIDL Conference 2024 this week! I presented our work on using diffusion models for brain tumor segmentation this morning, feel free to reach out with questions, if you are attending the conference!

Really excited to be attending “The Pulsing Brain” meeting by @royalsociety in Brighton, UK. Fantastic talks and conversations about brain pulsation!

Join us for the June edition of COMPASS seminar series tomorrow!
This June on COMPASS, Kendra Oudyk will be speaking on Effective and Reproducible data visualizations with demos in Python. Join Us. mailab.io/effective-and-…
