Colon cancer affects 1 in 6 British Columbians. Screening can detect the early warning signs of colon cancer and save your life. Find more information about colon cancer screening here: ow.ly/Vvwm30hnPaa #BC #BritishColumbia

Paige has done amazing work with us this summer and made this beautiful poster for #CBR_researchday. Thank you to UBC Centre for Blood Research and @BME_UBC for the oppprtunity!

Congratulations to Dr. Sunil Kalia for receiving a prestigious Health Professional-Investigator Award from @msfhr (Michael Smith Fdn for Health Research). Dr Sunil Kalia will be investigating novel optical methods for #skincancer detection & evaluation. msfhr.org/2019-health-pr…

I'm honoured to be presenting with so many other cancer care innovators here in Kelowna!

Just published! Special journal issue of Photodermatol Photoimmunol Photomed to commemorate the late Dr. Nikiforos Kollias, expert biophysicist who studied interactions between light and the skin. Wonderful scientist, colleague and mentor. doi.org/10.1111/phpp.1…

Update: Perhaps the ink is worth it after all. Thank you Terry Fox Research Institute! Another big thank you to Harvey Lui for promoting #betterposter in our lab. Definitely a visual upgrade. For those interested in my research, the paper behind this poster is here: doi.org/10.1117/1.JBO.…

We are at a critical point in our response to COVID-19. British Columbians are making a difference. What we are doing today is working – but we are not out of danger yet. We must keep it up. Every person in BC needs to work together to prevent the spread of COVID-19. #COVIDBC

"We are at an important crossroads with our COVID-19 response. Every day counts, and every action you take makes a difference.” This was the key message from today's #COVIDBC update. Other updates include: • 25 new cases of COVID-19, for a total of 1,724 cases in BC. +

We have flattened BC's curve together. And as we start to look ahead, we need to remain vigilant with hand hygiene, physical distancing, and staying home if you're ill. We've made headway, but we still have a lot of work to do -- together! #DoYourPartBC #COIVDBC

Congratulations to SBME Grad student Abdo Elhosary on being selected for the 2020 BC MEDTECH Graduate Award in Biomedical Engineering! Read more about Abdo and the award here: bme.ubc.ca/sbme-student-s… UBC Electrical & Computer Engineering @Guy_A_Dumont

.Daniel Louie introduces a new bio-optical parameter for analyzing skin cancer: meet the "Polarization Memory Rate". @UBCmedicine @BME_UBC Tim Lee

The rate of newly diagnosed invasive #melanomas appear to have dropped in 2020 based on a review of pathology BC databases by Dr. Marie O'Connor. This was most likely a consequence of decreased in-office medical visits due to #COVID19. @UBCmedicine

Our UBC Dermatology Skin Research Day also featured 18 "speed poster" videos - here's a super quick overview. For abstracts check out derm.med.ubc.ca/12-poster-pres… @UBCmedicine

This was a fun way to put together a conference presentation. Thank you for the chance to present at today's UBC Dermatology Skin Research Day! (Maybe I should invest in a second monitor)

! I have a new paper ! Open source link: doi.org/10.1117/1.JBO.… It's a more in-depth look at the development and theory behind our low-cost skin cancer detection probe. I also have some stories to share on this. See more below. 1/9

A new gadget for evaluating the skin by one of our clever PhD candidates UBC Dermatology & @BME_UBC.

Polarization speckle is information rich and simple to measure on the skin, but very difficult to analyze completely. What if we used #DeepLearning ? doi.org/10.1016/j.optl… First author is my incredible colleague and fellow @BME_UBC PhD candidate Yuheng Wang.

“The ability to diagnose and track hair loss with this technology could revolutionize patient care and outcomes,” says researcher Tim Lee on his study that uses a dermatoscope mounted to a smartphone: vchri.ca/stories/2021/1… Vancouver Coastal Health UBC Dermatology UBC's School of Population and Public Health

Attending the photodermatology annual meeting. Great talk by Harvey Lui’s lecture on all what can spectroscopy can assess on the skin!

Congratulations Yuheng Wang for publishing his latest work on content-based image retrieval. This is the best system so far for retrieving images with similar diagnosis from a database. authors.elsevier.com/c/1fJzC6DBR35h…
