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.
