Digital pathology helps decode tumor microenvironments for precision immunotherapy. GigaPath is a novel vision transformer that can scale to gigapixel whole-slide images by adapting dilated attention for digital pathology. In joint work with Providence and UW, we’re sharing Prov-GigaPath, the first whole-slide pathology foundation model pretrained on large-scale real-world data, for advancing clinical research and discovery.

Unmasking Tumor Heterogeneity from Single Cell Genomic Data

August 21, 2017 | Sabrina Rashid

Intra-tumor heterogeneity is one of the key confounding factors in deciphering tumor evolution. Malignant cells even if coming from a single tumor will have variations in their gene expression, copy numbers, and mutation. Bulk sequencing…
