Background

  • Mesothelioma is an aggressive and rare cancer developing in the tissues lining internal organs (lungs, heart…).
  • Poor prognosis due to aggressive nature and difficulty with early detection.
  • The National Mesothelioma Virtual Bank (NMVB) is a centralized biorepository for mesothelioma research.
  • Foundational models like Prov-Gigapath advance computational pathology by handling xomplexities with large data set.

Poential Significance

  • Drive insights by combining Prov-GigaPath’s computational capabilities with NMVB data for mesothelioma research and clinical applications.
  • Foster collaboration across various disciplines, institutions, and researchers.
  • Drive scientific discovery and advancements in computational pathology.
