We develop intelligent systems that bridge AI and ophthalmic medicine, leveraging foundation models, oculomics, and multi-agent architectures to advance retinal image understanding for both ocular and systemic disease.
AIM for Ophthalmology is a research group within the AIM for Health Lab at Monash University, with active collaboration at UCL Institute of Ophthalmology and the NIHR Biomedical Research Centre at Moorfields Eye Hospital. Our research focuses on building AI systems for ophthalmic imaging, spanning three interconnected directions: foundation models for robust retinal disease recognition, oculomics that leverages retinal imaging to predict systemic diseases, and multi-agent architectures for clinical ophthalmology decision support.
The AIM for Health Lab (Augmented Intelligence and Multimodal Analytics for Health) is founded and directed by A/Prof. Zongyuan Ge. The lab spans expertise in health AI translation, privacy-preserving AI, federated learning, and multimodal data analysis, with deep connections to first-tier healthcare providers and industry partners. Research from the lab has been published in leading venues including Nature Medicine, Nature Nanotechnology, Science Advances, The Lancet Digital Health, and top AI conferences such as NeurIPS, CVPR, and MICCAI.
We are always looking for passionate PhD students, postdocs, and visiting scholars. Feel free to reach out via Zongyuan.Ge@monash.edu.
