Welcome to the Melcher Lab.
Making better decisions through algorithms. AI4Surgery
The Melcher Lab works within the Stanford School of Medicine’s Division of Abdominal Transplant in the Department of Surgery.
We address surgical challenges with artificial intelligence and other algorithms to improve decision making.
Mac Klinkachorn presented the alpha version of a device that can read the steatotic content of a liver biopsy at the American Transplant Congress in Boston, June 2022.
ATC, Boston, June 2022
Our work on assessing the steatotic using our AI algorithm was published in HPB.
