Co-evolving AI
and Pathology

Missions


Advancing digital pathology and AI

We drive machine learning and pathology innovations for more accurate prediction of cancer survival and treatment response.

Understanding tumours as evolving ecosystems

Our scientific focus is on understanding tumours as complex, evolving ecosystems that may govern the evolutionary trajectory of cancer.

Deciphering cancer treatment resistance with image-omics

Innovative integration of pathological images with next-generation sequencing offers new insights into why some cancers are so difficult to treat.
