IBIS - Innovative Biomedical Instruments and Systems lab performs research on software and hardware applied to advanced diagnostics, imaging and treatment. Our research lies on the border of AI, Deep Learning, bioimaging and microfluidics. We take a quantitative approach to technology design, and take projects all the way from careful design and optimization to fabrication and application to real word problems.

The head of the IBIS lab is Dr. Anna Pyayt. She is an Associate Professor at the University of South Florida (USF) in the Department of Chemical, Biological, and Materials Engineering. She earned a dual Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Nanotechnology from the University of Washington and completed a Computing Innovation Fellowship at Stanford University. During her PhD she interned at Microsoft Research and HP Labs, she worked with Garry Starkweather (Laser Printer Inventor) and together they patented a new display technology “Telescopic Pixel”. Dr. Pyayt has pioneered technologies in AI, mobile health, and assistive devices for individuals with blindness. Her Mobile ELISA technology for early detection of pregnancy complications gained international recognition and was a finalist in competitions such as XPrize. Her current research focuses on AI-driven cancer treatment optimization and scientific information extraction, supported by grants from the National Science Foundation and by the Casey DeSantis Cancer Innovation Fund. These projects are in collaboration with Moffitt Cancer Research Center and Florida State University. Dr. Pyayt holds multiple biomedical technology patents and is the founder of Hemolix LLC. She has presented her work at the U.S. Congress and the National Academy of Sciences, and her innovations have won numerous awards, including the University of South Florida Excellence in Innovation Award and Rising Star Award from the Academy of Science, Engineering, and Medicine of Florida. Dr. Pyayt is a Senior member of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI) and the President of the USF NAI Chapter.
