Microsoft and Paige have revealed the fruits of their collaborative labor in creating the most advanced AI-powered cancer pathology tool. A research article published in Nature Medicine demonstrates how their “foundational” model for computational biology, Virchow, has the unprecedented ability to model diverse patterns observed in pathology images. Named in honor of a pioneer of modern pathology, Rudolf Virchow, who proposed the first theory of cellular pathology, the model has best-in-class performance in biomarker prediction, cell identification, and pan-cancer detection.
But perhaps the most valuable aspect of Virchow is that the pan-cancer detector, which was trained on the most data for a cancer diagnostic, can perform at the level of tissue-specific clinical-grade models and outperform them in identifying some rare...
