A propos du centre ou de la direction fonctionnelle

The Inria center at Université Côte d'Azur includes 42 research teams and 9 support services. The center’s staff (about 500 people) is made up of scientists of different nationalities, engineers, technicians and administrative staff. The teams are mainly located on the university campuses of Sophia Antipolis and Nice as well as Montpellier, in close collaboration with research and higher education laboratories and establishments (Université Côte d'Azur, CNRS, INRAE, INSERM ...), but also with the regional economic players.

With a presence in the fields of computational neuroscience and biology, data science and modeling, software engineering and certification, as well as collaborative robotics, the Inria Centre at Université Côte d'Azur is a major player in terms of scientific excellence through its results and collaborations at both European and international levels.


Contexte et atouts du poste

This position takes place within the French national AICOO project, which brings together several innovative companies and both public and private clinical centers.

The AICOO project focuses on the analysis of multiparametric MRI images of the prostate. Inria's role in the project is to develop artificial intelligence (AI) capable of analyzing and interpreting MRI images in order to improve the diagnosis and monitoring of patients with prostate cancer.

Indeed, prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting men in developed countries. Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging (mp-MRI), which involves the combined analysis of multiple MR sequences, is now regarded as the most accurate imaging method for detecting prostate cancer. However, a significant barrier to its widespread use as a diagnostic tool is the extensive training required for radiologists to perform accurate analyses.

This challenge has driven the development of decision support systems to assist radiologists in detecting, characterizing, and monitoring prostate cancer lesions.


Mission confiée

* AI algorithm development: Participate in the design, implementation and optimization of image processing and machine learning algorithms to analyze multiparametric MRI images (T2, DWI, ADC, etc.).
* Data collection and structuring: Ensure the generation, structuring and quality control of MRI image databases and associated clinical annotations.
* Research and development: Participate in research on the latest techniques in artificial intelligence (deep learning, convolutional neural networks, etc.) and propose innovative solutions to address medical image analysis issues.
* Clinical validation: Collaborate closely with clinicians (radiologists, urologists, etc.) to validate the results of the models developed and ensure their clinical relevance.
* Documentation and scientific communication: Document research results, participate in the writing of scientific articles.
