Biography

About me

My name is Jasmine Moore and I am originally from Durango, Colorado. I came to Calgary to pursue my graduate studies in Biomedical Engineering at the Medical Image Processing and Machine Learning Lab at the University of Calgary. I completed my undergraduate degree in Physics at the University of British Columbia.

My research

My research focuses on creating realistic models of the human ventral stream using deep learning models, and then inflicting damage onto these models in order to model neurodegenerative diseases. I am supervised by Dr. Nils Forkert. Our lab focuses on machine learning and medical image processing research.

BRAIN CREATE program aspirations

With the BRAIN CREATE program, I hope to go on an academic exchange to Germany in order to collaborate with a lab doing dementia research.

Commercialization

The prospect of creating an in silico model of the diseased brain has many aspects for commercialization. With further development, it could be possible to accurately model various outcomes of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, in order to provide the best personalized care. This commercializable technology could revolutionalize personalized medicine for the aging population.
