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.
