Vijaya B. Kolachalama PhD, FAHA

Vijaya Kolachalama is an Assistant Professor within the Section of Computational Biomedicine, Department of Medicine, Boston University School of Medicine. Research in his group is focused on developing deep learning algorithms for disease risk assessment as well as biomarker development and designing software technologies to assist therapeutic development and clinical decision-making. Current projects include the development of fully convolutional networks and multimodal fusion models to predict the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and osteoarthritis using digital data such as MR imaging, and computer vision-related tasks such as semantic segmentation, image classification, and object detection for digital pathology applications. His group is also developing recurrent neural network approaches for protein sequence analysis.
