Have you ever wondered if the pathology turn-around time could be faster and came to the conclusion that the only way to achieve that is to skip the tissue sectioning and staining? Now it is possible, with optical scanning microscopy by Instapath. Today’s guest, David Tulman, is the chief clinical officer of Instapath, a small startup using optical scanning microscopy to image fresh tissue without fixing and staining it.Working as a clinical trial manager exposed David to different areas of…

Robert Ader and Nicholas CohenDepartment of Psychiatry and Microbiology and Immunology, University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, Rochester, New York 14642 INTRODUCTION During the past 10-15 years, psychoneuroimmunology–the study of the interactions among behavior, neural and endocrine function, and immune processes–has developed into a bona fide field of interdisciplinary research(Ader 1981a, 1991a). Previously unknown and unsuspected connections between the brain and the immune system provide a foundation for the now numerous observations both (a) that the manipulation of…

Why and how should pathologists keep up with AI? w/ David Harrison, University of St. Andrews Artificial Intelligence is starting to cross from pathology research into pathology clinical practice. With several AI-based algorithms approved for clinical use in Europe and many more in the making, it is clear that rather sooner than later it will be an integral part of practicing pathology. Does everyone practicing pathology have to keep up with this new trend? Those who wish not to and…

w/ Jeppe Thagaard, Visiopharm Machine learning is not a new technology, but it started to revolutionize pathology relatively recently. The ideal combination of untapped, abundant pathology data necessary to leverage machine learning and the relevance of pathology applications has drawn scientists to this field and caused an artificial intelligence (AI) explosion. Within just two years from 2018 to 2020 AI-based tissue image analysis went from “cutting edge technology” to “mainstream”. The deep learning explosion started with the Camelyon challenge which served as…
