Xin Meng, PhD

Summary

My research focuses on two areas: (1) Imaging Biomarkers in Cancer: Investigating imaging biomarkers for the early detection, diagnosis, therapy response, and prognosis of cancers, including lung, ovarian, and melanoma; (2) AI in Robotic Surgery: Exploring how AI can improve robotic surgery, such as simulating lung motion during lung biopsy procedures to accurately localize lesions and guide biopsy needle insertion, enhancing precision and reducing complications.

The multidisciplinary environment at Hillman Cancer Center is ideal for integrating my AI methodologies with clinical practices. Access to clinical data and patient cohorts helps validate and refine my AI models, while the collaborative atmosphere fosters innovation, driving clinical applications that benefit cancer patients.
