A new study at the University of Warwick, funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) will shed light on how AI can transform colon biopsy screening – streamlining diagnoses and helping to ease the pressure on NHS histopathology resources. The research will involve data from 10 NHS hospitals across the UK and more than 10,000 biopsy samples.

The Warwick TIA team represented by Prof Nasir Rajpoot and Dr Shan Raza are delighted to be part of the EU-wide €70M BIGPICTURE project.

Goal

To take AI development in pathology to the next level, a European consortium combining leading European research centres, hospitals as well as major pharmaceutical industries, is going to develop a repository for the sharing of pathology data. The 6-year, €70M project called BIGPICTURE, will herald a new era in pathology.
