Pathology labs still spend hours, and sometimes days, moving fragile tissue through reagent-intensive staining workflows that add cost, variability and waste. Virtual staining, an approach which uses AI models to transform label-free tissue images into counterparts that mimic chemical stains, aims to compress that process significantly while preserving scarce tissue and standardizing results across sites.…
Digital ready, regulatory waiting: The clinical trial pathology paradox
While diagnostic pathologists can review scanned slides remotely with AI assistance and instant global collaboration, much of the clinical trial pathology world still ships physical glass slides between labs, dealing with FedEx delays and proprietary file formats. “For exploratory assays, yes, it’s exploding. Everyone’s enjoying artificial intelligence and machine learning for various aspects, but there’s…
