Michael Feldman

Chair of the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Indiana University School of Medicine

Dr. Feldman, MD, PhD, is a Chair of the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Indiana University School of Medicine. His professional interests revolve around the development, integration, and adoption of information technologies in the discipline of pathology. One of his main areas of interest within this broad discipline is in the field of digital imaging. Alongside his team, he has been studying pathology imaging on several fronts, including interactions between pathology/radiology (radiopathogenomics of prostate cancer and breast carcinoma) and the development and utilization of computer assisted diagnostic algorithms for machine vision in prostate and breast cancer. More recently they have been developing deep learning methods for complex interrogation of pathology slides, both within the cancer domain as well as in cardiovascular and renal pathology. They have also been developing methods to apply multispectral imaging for the analysis of multiplexed immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence to tissues, along with the development of a quantitative system for scoring and analyzing these studies at a cytometric level on surgical pathology slides. The efforts have been recognized by the national funding agencies of the National Institute of Health and Department of Defense, as well as industry sponsored projects.
