The objective of this research is to develop new and improved diagnostic instrumentation for cervical cancer detection and screening. the techniques employed are based upon high resolution digital imaging technology. a five year study just completed has clarified and quantified, for the purposes of… More

The long-term objective of this research is to apply new techniques of digital image processing to the analysis of red blood cells. it has been demonstrated, in preliminary research, that these techniques have the potential of precise and rapid measurements of individual red cells with regard to… More

The objective of this project is to develop quantitative estrogen receptor concentration measurements using high- resolution digital image microscopy techniques. the techniques will enable direct measurements of receptor concentration on a cell-by-cell basis. this is an improvement over the current… More

The objective of this project is to conceptualize an assay method to quantitate oncogene products in cells and tissues. in the phase i efforts, the protein encoded by theher2 oncogene, p185(her2), will be used as a specific example because it has been strongly implicated in the biological behavior… More
