UniOGS – Introduction to Doctoral Training, October 17, 2019

2. ITEE-Doctoral Programme
Four doctoral degree programs: - Electrical engineering - Communications engineering - Computer science and engineering - Information processing science
Together with UniOGS, organizes annually different field-specific PhD intensive courses, summer schools, talks and lecture series
Other courses together with the other three doctoral programmes and UniOGS
Histopathological grading of osteochondral tissues is widely used as the gold standard in OA research
Also relatively common approach in post-surgery in vitro diagnostics
Conventional histopathological grading has a number of limitations:
Destructive
Sample processing artefacts
A few 2D sections are limited to evaluation of local degeneration only
2D section does not represent spatial 3D structure and composition of the tissue
Final outcome is subjective
