About Us
We aim to develop novel techniques for the identification of new MRI- derived clinically applicable biomarkers for the complex task of personalised prediction of disease activity in MS patients.

We propose using state-of-the-art machine (deep) learning techniques, in particular convolutional neural networks (CNNs), for the purpose of extracting individual multiple sclerosis (MS) disease severity and activity markers from structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data.
