Prof Maria A. Zuluaga, Visiting Senior Lecturer within the School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences and assistant professor at the Data Science department at EURECOM (Sophia Antipolis, France) has been awarded the prestigious Consolidator Grant from the European Research Council (ERC).
The €2 million grant will support her artificial intelligence for medicine project, CARAVEL, which aims to revolutionize the analysis of neurovascular images at multiple scales.
A collaboration between EURECOM, King's College London, and Nice University Hospital, the CARAVEL project seeks to develop the first population-level multi-resolution spatiotemporal atlas of the ageing vascular architecture of the brain.
CARAVEL will enable physicians and researchers to test hypotheses about the brain’s vascular network, contributing to innovations in diagnostics, treatment, and preventative medicine. Its focus on creating reproducible and robust methodologies ensures that the tools developed will have lasting and scalable benefits for both research and clinical practice.
EURECOM is a leading international engineering school committed to advancing science and technology through education and research, with a strong focus on collaboration with industry and societal impact.
