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.

SUMMARY:AI Powered QC Where You Need It: Finding Needles in the Haystack
DESCRIPTION:0000Days00Hrs00Min00SecThrough live demonstrations\, and interactive discussions\, attendees will understand the prevalence of artifacts and challenges of manual quality control (QC) for whole slide imaging (WSI). Learn how AI-powered QC helps labs identify the minority of slides with artifacts\, freeing up technician time to focus on the critical few. Innovative\, cutting-edge rescan functionality is designed to fix scanning problems before you know you have them. Aperio iQC software works in tandem with the Aperio GT range of scanners to automatically rescan slides\, with parameters optimized to resolve scan issues\, providing full autonomy\, with the confidence of complete control. Learn how Leica Biosystems’ Aperio iQC software detects artifacts early in the digital pathology workflow\, surfaces results in a centralized dashboard\, alerts the laboratory via the scanner console\, and supports faster\, more consistent quality control. \nLearning Objectives\n\nChallenges and bottlenecks in manual QC\, and how AI-powered QC helps eliminate unnecessary reviews\, and focus only on slides needing attention.\nHow Aperio iQC works in practice\, including the prevalence of artifacts\, where they are detected\, how results appear in the dashboard and scanner console\, and how slides are reviewed and addressed.\nHow to act faster and more consistently on QC findings\, using early artifact visibility to support timely decisions while slides remain in the scanning workflow.\n\nFor Research Use Only.

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.
