Panel Discussion: Beyond the Slide: Tissue AI as the Anchor for Multimodal Biomarker Discovery & Global Deployment
11:20 am
- One Frontier Model, For Every Stage of Drug Development: Discover how a unified ecosystem powered by a single frontier AI model streamlines biomarker discovery, clinical trial stratification, regulatory-grade diagnostics, and global deployment to pathology labs. Platform agnostic development under one roof – no need for algorithm hand-offs or tedious integrations before deployment
- De-Risking CDx Timelines With Tissue AI: AI-driven biomarker signal detection reduces trial enrollment risk and enables more informed decisions from less tissue — shortening Rx-Dx co-development time
- Redefining Global Pathology Routine: Moving tissue biomarkers from isolated reference labs to global clinical routine powered by our extensive CRO partnerships and an active lab network
Wednesday 7th October 2026
Panel Discussion: Beyond IHC Scoring: Unlocking Next-Generation Clinical Biomarkers through AI-Powered Computational Pathology
2:10 pm
- Tumor heterogeneity determines treatment response and resistance, and AI-powered computational pathology makes heterogeneity tractable for drug development
- Tissue analysis succeeds in drug development when scientific, computational, and delivery expertise are integrated from the start, not assembled project by project
- Connecting imaging features to outcomes to generate predictive biomarkers, and translation into cross-cohort and cross-platform validation and deployment
- Infrastructure and global access shape which biomarkers can actually reach patients. H&E-based approaches can have an important role in ensuring equitable, global CDx access

2:40 pm
- Target expression in indication selection and as potential predictive biomarkers
- Digital pathology approaches and technical challenges
- Optimizing program investment and deciding what data will be enough
