Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 (UCBL) is a university with around 47,000 students a year in the fields of science and technology, health, and sport. CREATIS is a biomedical imaging research laboratory at UCBL employing about 200 persons, whose main areas of excellence and international influence are linked to two fundamental topics, namely: the identification of major health issues that can be addressed by imaging, and the identification of theoretical barriers in biomedical imaging related to signal and image processing, modelling, and numerical simulation.

CREATIS meets these challenges through a multidisciplinary approach, based on a matrix organisation which stimulates interaction between six research teams working in information and communication science and technology, engineering sciences and life sciences. CREATIS is also associated to CNRS, INSERM, INSA Lyon and Université Jean Monnet Saint-Etienne.

The UCBL team focuses on the development of optical medical devices to assess tissue biomarkers.

UCBL in HyperProbe

UCBL’s role in HyperProbe is to validate the experimental medical devices developed against clinical gold standard. Our expertise consists in understanding the correlation and association of the intraoperative optical imaging contrasts against current clinical used imaging standards for neuronavigation in tumour removal and cortical activity simulation which rely mainly on MRI and pathological analysis.

Bruno Montcel

Bruno Montcel is Associate Professor (Maître de Conférences – HDR) at the Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 (HCBL) and the CREATIS lab in Lyon, France. His research focuses on optical imaging methods and experimental set up for the exploration of brain physiology and pathologies. It mainly focuses on intraoperative and point of care hyperspectral optical imaging methods for medical diagnosis and gesture assistance.

Michaël Sdika

Michaël Sdika is from the CREATIS lab in Lyon, France and from CNRS. His current research field focuses on the development of new analysis method based on deep learning for medical data. His main contributions are centered around image registration, atlas-based segmentation, structure localization and machine learning for MR image of the nervous central system.

Charly Caredda

Charly Caredda is a post-doctoral researcher at UCBL, at the CREATIS laboratory in Lyon. His research focuses on optical imaging methods and experimental setups for the exploration of tissue physiology and pathologies. His main focus is on intraoperative optical imaging methods for the identification of functional areas of the brain during neurosurgical operations.

Adithep Kawinkij

Adithep KAWINKIJ is a doctoral student from the CREATIS labs in Lyon. His research is centered around optical imaging and techniques for intraoperative neurosurgery guidance.
