In 1990 Dr. Tu joined Sony Research in Tokyo Japan, where he developed a number of computer vision algorithms for man-machine interfaces. While at Oxford University, his research was devoted to the development of computer vision methods for the autumatic analysis of seismic imagery.
Imaging is an essential non-invasive tool for building disease understanding and characterization. Contrast agents or targeted imaging (molecular imaging) allow specific features to be delineated, such as vascularization, abnormal metabolism, or disease-specific biomarkers. GE Research has an active program developing molecular imaging agents that benefits from our strong capabilities in diagnostic imaging hardware and histopathogical technology for characterization of biomarkers in diseased tissue.
