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.

Exploring the structural changes driving protein function with BioEmu-1

February 20, 2025 | Sarah Lewis, Tim Hempel, Jose Jimenez-Luna, Michael Gastegger, Yu Xie, Victor García Satorras, Osama Abdin, Bas Veeling, Ryota Tomioka, Frank Noé

Meet BioEmu-1 from Microsoft Research. This deep learning model can generate thousands of protein structures per hour, unlocking new possibilities for protein scientists and drug discovery and research.

The image shows eight different 3D models of protein structures. Each model is color-coded with various segments in blue, green, orange, and other colors to highlight different parts of the protein.
