Research Interests: applying computerized image analysis and new technologies in microcopy. This includes: In particular: 1) Detection of invisible ''hidden'' information in routinely prepared cytologic or histologic slides by texture analysis with inhouse developed computer programs based on the concepts of entropy, fractality, co-occurrence matrix etc.; 2) Generation of virtual microscopic images with the contrast created by differences of physicochemical characteristics of tissues, e.g. fluorescence lifetime imaging and multiphoton microscopy (in collaboration with INCT INFABIC) 3) Creation of diagnostic algorithms and prognostic mathematical models based on computerized image analysis or other clinical and laboratory data. 186 publications indexed in PUBMED, 199 in SCOPUS, 269 in WEBOFKNOWLEDGE (193 without meeting summaries or abstracts). 3530 citations with Hirsch index h = 30, according to WEBOFKNOWLEDGE; 5269 with h=41, according to Google Scholar (on January 5, 2026).
