Research
Dr. Baheti’s research has focused on developing advanced artificial intelligence algorithms to address complex problems in computer vision and medical imaging. Over the past few years, she has been investigating the computational analysis of digitized tissue sections to understand the underlying tumor microenvironment and predict the prognosis of patients with brain glioblastoma. She has also explored the association between imaging features extracted with their molecular characteristics and cancer subtyping.
Dr. Baheti was the lead organizer of the first brain tumor sequence registration challenge, which focused on establishing the benchmark environment for deformable image registration algorithms. She has also worked on the implementation and validation of convolutional filters for quantitative image feature extraction as part of the international collaborative effort of the Image Biomarker Standardization Initiative to ensure reproducibility in feature extractors.
