The recent Oral Epithelial Dysplasia (OED) Workshop, held at The Edge in Sheffield on 18 November 2024, marked a significant milestone for the ANTICIPATE project. Since its inception in 2020, this Cancer Research UK (CRUK)-funded collaboration between the TIA Centre at Warwick and the Neopath team at Sheffield has aimed to revolutionise the grading of OED. By leveraging AI-based tools, the project has sought to refine grading methodologies while uncovering novel biomarkers to improve clinical outcomes.

On Wednesday, October 2, 2024, I attended the 3rd annual Digital Pathology and AI showcase event titled "Digital Pathology Algorithms (DP and AI): Are we looking at the patient journey?", sponsored by Roche Diagnostics UK and Ireland. The event was an insightful exploration of how digital pathology and AI algorithms are transforming healthcare, with a particular focus on improving the patient journey. Read More

ECP, Florence, another great opportunity to mix networking, work and sightseeing in a jam-packed week. “Unfortunately” there were no direct flights to Florence from Birmingham. This therefore required me to travel to Florence via Pisa the day before the conference. This allowed me to visit the iconic leaning tower, which certainly didn’t fail to impress. From there, it was a scenic 50-minute journey on a double-decker train to Florence. Read MoreLink opens in a new window

Having come from an engineering background, I decided to pursue my postdoctoral experience in computer science, and I loved it. Just after submitting my thesis in Spring 2023, I started a research position at TIA, working with Dr Shan Raza on early detection of oral cancer and in collaboration with University of Sheffield. Reflecting on my first year at TIA, I have got much to say! Read MoreLink opens in a new window
