ABOUT THE LAB
We leverage tools from machine learning and control theory to understand biological systems. Control theoretic concepts are integrated both in the design of our optimization schemes and statistical machine learning models, as well as in the design of our in vitro and in vivo experiments. The lab is part of the Division of Computational Pathology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School. We are physically located in the Hale Building for Transformative Medicine (BTM) in Boston with space also at the MIT Stata Center in Cambridge. Dr. Gibson has primary faculty appointments at BWH and HMS with other appointments within the Computer Science and AI Lab at MIT and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. Lab members are primarily drawn from HMS, Harvard, and MIT programs.
