SUMMARY:TIA Centre Seminar Series – Co-evolving Computational Pathology: From Interactive Foundation Models (VISTA-PATH) to Agentic Medical Image Analysis (TissueLab)
DESCRIPTION:0000Days00Hrs00Min00SecThe Tissue Image Analytics (TIA) Centre hosts a seminar series for those interested in computational pathology. The series invites researchers and leaders in computational pathology and related fields to present their work and foster thought-provoking discussions. \nThis seminar features Dr Peixian Liang and Songhao Li from the University of Pennsylvania\, USA. \nAbstract\nComputational pathology is rapidly moving beyond static\, single-task predictors toward interactive systems that can segment\, reason\, and quantify tissue morphology under expert supervision. In this talk\, we present two complementary pillars of this transition from our group. First\, we introduce VISTA-PATH\, an interactive foundation model for histopathology image segmentation designed to resolve heterogeneous tissue structures\, incorporate expert feedback\, and generate pixel-level segmentations that are directly meaningful for clinical interpretation. Trained on over 1.6 million image–mask–text triplets spanning 9 organs and 93 tissue classes\, VISTA-PATH outperforms existing segmentation foundation models and enables clinically relevant biomarkers\, such as the Tumor Interaction Score (TIS)\, which shows a strong association with patient survival. Second\, we present TissueLab\, an open\, co-evolving agentic system (tissuelab.org) for end-to-end medical image analysis. TissueLab unifies foundation models and analytical tools within a modular tool graph\, including VISTA-PATH for interactive segmentation\, and translates LLM-generated plans into executable operations. Through tool-level\, strategy-level\, and workflow-level co-evolution\, it achieves over 90% accuracy in cancer cell quantification within 10-30 minutes of expert feedback\, improves lymph-node metastasis correlation from 0.827 to 0.933\, and reaches a macro-AUC of 0.838 on tubule formation scoring\, outperforming human-orchestrated workflows and state-of-the-art VLMs. \nRegister NowBio\nPeixian Liang is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Pennsylvania\, working with Prof. Zhi Huang. She received her Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from the University of Notre Dame\, Notre Dame\, IN\, USA\, in 2023. Her research focuses on developing innovative AI/ML methods to advance medicine. She is particularly interested in building foundation models and computational frameworks to assist pathologists\, reduce variability in diagnosis\, and identify clinically relevant morphologic biomarkers. Her work aims to advance AI-driven approaches for more precise diagnosis\, prognosis\, and clinical and biological discovery. Songhao Li is a first-year Ph.D. student in Electrical and Systems Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania\, advised by Prof. Zhi Huang. He received his M.S. in Computer Science from New York University in 2025 and brings a strong full-stack and system-engineering background from prior roles in industry. His research focuses on agentic AI\, human–AI collaboration\, and ML/DL for medicine\, aiming to bridge AI research and clinical practice through transparent\, interactive\, and continuously learning systems.

SUMMARY:International Spatial Biology Congress 2026
DESCRIPTION:0000Days00Hrs00Min00SecIn this rapidly developing field\, spatial biology provides significant potential for creating novel clinical insights. Recent technological advancements in spatial biology have provided insights into new strategies to prevent and treat disease\, particularly the interactions between the tumor and the tumor microenvironment in cancers to target patients to more specific treatments. New spatial research is focusing more on spatial omics integration\, spatial metabolomics becoming more prominent\, how to tackle spatial data analysis and benchmarking\, and the applications of AI within spatial biology. \nThe conference is structured around three core areas\, Spatial Multiomics Studies and Techniques\, Bioinformatics and Computational Tools for Spatial Data Analysis and Applications of Spatial Biology in Disease and Drug Development. There is an expanded focus on data analysis in response to delegate feedback. Sessions place particular emphasis on understanding\, analysing\, and standardising spatial data\, alongside advances in subcellular and spatial–temporal biology. As the field moves beyond broad molecular mapping\, talks now explore finer-scale perspectives\, including three-dimensional interactions and the dynamic behaviour of molecules within cells and tissues. \nThe programme highlights both technological innovation and the expanding application of spatial biology beyond oncology. Topics include the integration of spatial biology with mass spectrometry\, enabling detailed proteomic analysis at the subcellular level\, as well as emerging approaches in spatial transcriptomics\, epigenomics\, and metabolomics. Case studies span rare skin disease\, neuroscience\, neurodegeneration\, and cardiovascular disease\, supported by increasing engagement from the pharmaceutical sector. A strong keynote lineup brings together leading academic and industry experts to offer insight into the future direction of the field. \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:TIA Centre Seminar Series – Computational Pathology for Discovering Biomarkers of Immunotherapy Response in Advanced Melanoma
DESCRIPTION:0000Days00Hrs00Min00SecThe Tissue Image Analytics (TIA) Centre hosts a seminar series for those interested in computational pathology. The series invites researchers and leaders in computational pathology and related fields to present their work and foster thought-provoking discussions. \nThis seminar features Dr Mark Schuiveling from UMC Utrecht\, the Netherlands. \nAbstract\nImmune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) has significantly improved outcomes for patients with advanced cutaneous melanoma\, leading to durable responses and potential long-term remission in approximately half of patients. However\, it is also associated with severe and sometimes irreversible toxicity\, underscoring the need for reliable biomarkers. In our group\, we investigate whether computational pathology approaches add value beyond clinical data for identifying biomarkers associated with treatment response in these patients. In this talk\, I will highlight our work on tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in melanoma histopathology\, as well as our recent work in the PUMA challenge\, where we assessed whether additional immune cell subsets provide further associated predictive value. \nRegister NowBio\nMark Schuiveling is a medical doctor and PhD candidate at the University Medical Centre Utrecht\, the Netherlands. He is expected to defend his thesis in the summer of 2026 and is currently working as an internal medicine resident\, after which he will begin an oncology fellowship in 2027. His research focuses on melanoma\, in which he and his colleagues have assembled a multicentre dataset of digitized whole-slide images\, CT scans\, and clinical data\, with the aim of improving prediction of response to first-line immune checkpoint inhibition in patients with advanced melanoma. His work has primarily focused on histopathological analysis\, including tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) assessment\, as well as on the organization of the PUMA challenge\, which investigated whether additional immune cell subtypes provide added predictive value.

SUMMARY:Foundation Models in Oncology: Why Benchmark Success Does Not Translate to Clinical Practice
DESCRIPTION:0000Days00Hrs00Min00SecThe Tissue Image Analytics (TIA) Centre hosts a seminar series for those interested in computational pathology. The series invites researchers and leaders in computational pathology and related fields to present their work and foster thought-provoking discussions. \nThis seminar features Dr Duan Zhiyun from Fudan University\, China. \nAbstract\nFoundation models are rapidly reshaping biomedical research and hold great promise for oncology. Yet despite impressive benchmark performance\, their impact in real clinical settings remains limited. A key reason is that most current models are designed as narrow specialists optimized for static tasks\, while clinical oncology requires more generalist systems. Effective clinical support demands models that can integrate multimodal information\, follow the longitudinal course of disease\, and incorporate patient perspectives into decision-making. Rethinking model design along these dimensions will be crucial if foundation models are to move beyond benchmarks and become trusted partners in cancer care. \nRegister NowBio\nDuan is a medical doctor at Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University\, Shanghai\, China. He has published as first author in several great journals in medicine\, including Cell Reports Medicine\, Nature Cancer\, and Journal of Translational Medicine over the past three years.

SUMMARY:SAGE: Agentic Framework for Interpretable and Clinically Translatable Computational Pathology Biomarker Discovery
DESCRIPTION:0000Days00Hrs00Min00SecThe Tissue Image Analytics (TIA) Centre hosts a seminar series for those interested in computational pathology. The series invites researchers and leaders in computational pathology and related fields to present their work and foster thought-provoking discussions. \nThis seminar features Dr Sahar Almahfouz Nasser from Emory University\, USA. \nAbstract\nDespite significant progress in computational pathology\, many AI models remain black-box and difficult to interpret\, posing a major barrier to clinical adoption due to limited transparency and explainability. This has motivated continued interest in engineered image-based biomarkers\, which offer greater interpretability but are often proposed based on anecdotal evidence or fragmented prior literature rather than systematic biological validation. We introduce SAGE (Structured Agentic system for hypothesis Generation and Evaluation)\, an agentic AI system designed to identify interpretable\, engineered pathology biomarkers by grounding them in biological evidence. SAGE integrates literature-anchored reasoning with multi-modal data analysis to correlate image-derived features with molecular biomarkers\, such as gene expression\, and clinically relevant outcomes. By coordinating specialized agents for biological contextualization and empirical hypothesis validation\, SAGE prioritizes transparent\, biologically supported biomarkers and advances the clinical translation of computational pathology. \nRegister NowBio\nDr. Sahar Almahfouz Nasser is a postdoctoral researcher at Emory University’s Madabhushi Lab\, working at the intersection of computational pathology\, agentic AI\, and translational oncology. She is the creator of SAGE\, an agentic framework for biologically grounded and clinically translatable biomarker discovery\, with a focus on interpretable and trustworthy AI for cancer care. She is a recipient of the Qualcomm Innovation Fellowship\, and her work has been published in leading AI and medical imaging venues.
