Research Focus
Digital pathology is rapidly transforming the workflow in routine diagnostics, and our goal is to enable faster, less subjective and in some cases even more accurate diagnostics through computational pathology enabled by modern machine learning. We anticipate that besides enabling decision support for tasks currently done by human experts, computational pathology has the potential for novel discoveries from histopathology beyond the limits of human vision.
