From pathology image to biological discovery: LazySlide uses foundation models to connect tissue images and RNA data

Wait 5 sec.

Microscopic images of human tissue are a cornerstone of biomedical research and clinical diagnostics. Yet despite their importance, these images often remain difficult to analyze systematically and to connect with other types of biological data. A new study led by CeMM Principal Investigator André Rendeiro and published in Nature Methods introduces "LazySlide," an open-source software tool that brings the power of foundation models and aims to democratize digital pathology analysis.
