Deploying AI-Powered Image Analysis in Drug Development

This episode's guests:

Jonathan Daniels & Ori Zelichov

This episode of Digital Pathology Today™ our guests are Jonathan Daniels Vice President of Sales, US & Ori Zelichov, MD, Medical Director for Nucleai

There is so much rich information imbedded in the histologic and molecular features of tissue sections which can be extracted through digital pathology. We seem to be at the convergence of AI-powered image analysis and precision medicine.

Nucleai is committed to bringing the power of spatial biology to reality by providing pharmaceutical companies and clinicians with AI- powered image analysis applications.

We're going to be talking about the promise of digital pathology and image analysis and how these technologies can be leveraged in drug discovery and ultimately patient care. What does the future hold and how a higher throughput of patient biopsies through a digital pathology system will result in a new age of information and discovery analogous to the revolution we have seen in sequencing the human genome. We will also talk about the rich ecosystem in med-tech in Israel and what makes Nucleai unique in its makeup and approach.
