Cytotechnology Certificate Program Director Kaitlin Sundling, MD, PhD, won the American Society of Cytopathology Foundation’s “Shark Tank” Young Investigator Grant competition with her pitch – “Development of a Deep Learning Image Analysis System for Improved Cytology Screening.”
From a large field of applicants, proposals from 12 semifinalists were evaluated and 3 young researchers were chosen to present in front of the society at its annual meeting in November.
Kaitlin was awarded a two-year $50,000 grant to be used toward her research creating a machine learning prescreening algorithm for cytology.
