Digital Pathology, Computational Biology, Organ Transplants, & the Future of Medicine
Posted 23rd March 2020 by Liv Sewell
Both transplant outcomes and lab methods have stagnated over the last 40 years. Ishita Moghe and Professor Kim Solez comment upon the rapidly changing landscape of medical research and the potential of digital pathology for transforming patient outcomes.
How will Ground Truth Colour Standardisation yield the benefits of AI in Medical Imaging?
Posted 6th November 2019 by Joshua Sewell
The essence of colour management is to ensure that the original target translates through a digital pathway so that the output images are exactly the same colour as the original.
When applied to medical imaging, and considering all the specific stains used in pathology, colour management becomes important. Particular coloured stains bind specific structures of cells in tissue to confer visualisation of diagnostic information. Without translating the colour through the digital pathway correctly, you lose the aspect of diagnostic information, which comes from specific colours.
Unleashing the power of digital pathology and AI for precision medicine
Posted 2nd October 2019 by Joshua Sewell
We’re looking back at the highlights from the Digital Pathology and AI meeting in 2018 as we anticipate this year’s Digital Pathology and AI Congress in December. This second post in our mini-series reviews Marylin Bui’s keynote presentation where she explained how the combination of Digital Pathology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) holds huge potential for patient care.
Falling off the cliff: are we short of pathologists?
Posted 18th September 2019 by Joshua Sewell
I can recall clearly the pathologists coming to lecture our medical school class our second year in 1993.
Most of them felt compelled to tell us, “Pathology is a lot of fun, you can make a good living, but don’t go into it, there aren’t any jobs.”
The future of Pharma: harnessing AI to decentralise data
Posted 9th September 2019 by Joshua Sewell
As Chief Data Officer for the OSTHUS Group, Eric Little co-founded LeapAnalysis, a new approach to AI, data integration and analytics.
LeapAnalysis is the first fully federated and virtualised search and analytics engine that runs on semantic metadata. It allows users to combine semantic models (ontologies) with machine learning algorithms to provide customers with unparalleled flexibility in utilizing their data.
Slides from the Plant Genomics & Gene Editing Congress: Europe

Tuning Algorithms to the Histology Lab
Posted 26th November 2018 by Jane Williams
The promise of an effective set of tools based on deep learning or other machine learning algorithms is the current buzz of the digital pathology markets. While the evolving tools, models and techniques are producing strongly positive results, there are still many factors which impact the utility and portability of models and tools being created across real-world data sets.
