GigaPath: Whole-Slide Foundation Model for Digital Pathology
![Digital pathology helps decode tumor microenvironments for precision immunotherapy. GigaPath is a novel vision transformer that can scale to gigapixel whole-slide images by adapting dilated attention for digital pathology. In joint work with Providence and UW, we’re sharing Prov-GigaPath, the first whole-slide pathology foundation model pretrained on large-scale real-world data, for advancing clinical research and discovery.](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/uploads/prodnew/2024/05/1-hero.png)
The confluence of digital transformation in biomedicine and the current generative AI revolution creates an unprecedented opportunity for drastically accelerating progress in precision health. Digital pathology is emblematic of this exciting frontier. In cancer
