Tissue Recognition

11/1/12

For pathologists, identifying damaged or diseased tissue is a time-consuming process of poring over samples under a microscope. But collaborative research between veterinarians and electrical engineers at Penn State could significantly speed up the process.

For pathologists, identifying damaged or diseased tissue is a time-consuming process of poring over samples under a microscope. But collaborative research between veterinarians and electrical engineers at Penn State could significantly speed up the process. Using image recognition technology similar to what powers photo-editing software and social media to recognize faces, a team led by Vishal Monga, assistant professor of electrical engineering, with veterinarians at the University's Animal Diagnostic Laboratory (ADL), has developed an automated method of classifying histopathological images.

Penn State poultry scientists are a key part of the state's aggressive program to protect the state's flocks—and $750 million in poultry profits—from outbreaks of avian flu.

Probing Question: Why are some strains of E. coli resistant to antibiotics?

Although they're among the simplest organisms, bacteria are some of the most creative life forms on earth. Just ask molecular biologist Chobi DebRoy, director of Penn State's Gastroenteric Disease Center. "We receive bacterial samples from all over the world—from veterinary clinics, medical centers, zoos, farms," DebRoy says. Her lab works to identify disease—causing strains of E. coli and to determine whether they are antibiotic-resistant.
