- We are pleased to announce that two papers have been accepted at CVPR 2026 (main conference) and one paper at a CVPR workshop.
- Congratulations to our PhD student Abdul Rehman on the acceptance of his paper “Uni-Hema: Unified Model for Digital Hematopathology” at CVPR 2026.
- Dr. Waqas Sultani delivered invited talks at the Stanford MedAI Group and Birmingham City University.
- Our faculty has been serving as Area Chair at leading machine learning conferences, including CVPR, NeurIPS, and WACV, for several years.
- Our team has been awarded the MICCAI Open Data Micro Grant 2026.
- Dr. Waqas Sultani is serving on the organizing committee of the Medical Image Computing in Resource Constrained Settings Workshop & Knowledge Interchange (MIRASOL) for 2025 and 2026.
- Our paper “Leveraging Sparse Annotations for Leukemia Diagnosis on the Large Leukemia Dataset” has been accepted in the Medical Image Analysis journal.
- Congratulations to Abdul Rehman for receiving the MICCAI Membership Grant.
