Research Grants
Currently, at Pittsburgh, Dr Gilbertson’s research support is limited to 40,000/year as a consultant on a National Mesothelioma Virtual Bank (NMVB) imaging project. Going forward, he will be responsible for developing funding research for pathology imaging and machine learning.
Throughout his career, the great majority (90%) of his support has been through industry, including:
- Funding through his start ups in Pittsburgh: DFD and Interscope Technologies
- Research funding in his WSI research lab (at MGH): e.g. NEC, 3D Histech, Olympus, Kurabo, Sony, BioImagine, Omnyx, Canon, Sony, Philips and others.
- Funding as Director of Pathology Informatics (MGH): Usually development as part of an enterprise implementation of a clinical system (e.g. Sunquest, Philips), departmental research systems or FDA studies.
