Objective:

To develop AI platforms that infer molecular information from pathology slides, making insights more accessible and faster for clinicians.

Approach:
  • Path2Omics: Predicts bulk molecular information from pathology images, focusing on inferred bulk transcriptomics and methylation across 30 tumor types.
  • Path2Space: Aims to infer spatial transcriptomics from digital pathology images by linking image morphology to spatial molecular data.
Key Findings:
  • AI can potentially reduce the cost and turnaround time for obtaining molecular insights from weeks to days.
  • Path2Omics provides inferred bulk omics data from standard pathology slides without the need for extensive molecular profiling.
  • Path2Space aims to infer spatial transcriptomics from digital pathology images, linking image morphology to spatial molecular data.
Interpretation:

Limitations:
  • The effectiveness of inferred spatial information in improving decision-making remains to be fully validated.
