Research Interests: applying computerized image analysis and new technologies in microcopy. This includes: In particular: 1) Detection of invisible "hidden" information? in routinely prepared cytologic or histologic slides by texture analysis with inhouse developed computer programs based on the concepts of entropy, fractality, co-occurrence matrix etc.; 2) Generation of virtual microscopic images with the contrast created by differences of physicochemical characteristics of tissues, e.g. fluorescence lifetime imaging and multiphoton microscopy (in collaboration with INCT INFABIC) 3) Creation of diagnostic algorithms and prognostic mathematical models based on computerized image analysis or other clinical and laboratory data. 175 publications indexed in PUBMED, 190 in SCOPUS, 254 in WEBOFKNOWLEDGE (183 without meeting summaries or abstracts). 2886 citations with Hirsch index h = 27, according to WEBOFKNOWLEDGE; 4432 with h=36, according to Google Scholar (on 01/07/2022).
