Advances in digital pathology are generating huge volumes of whole slide and tissue microarray images which are providing
new insights into the causes of most devastating diseases. They also present tremendous opportunities for developing and
evaluating new and more effective treatments that may revolutionize the care of patients with cancers and other diseases. The
challenge is to exploit the new and emerging digital pathology technologies effectively in order to process and model all the
heterogeneous tissue-derived data. This requires joint research projects and collaborative programmes between academia and
industry, which will help developing efficient and innovative products to fulfil the needs of digital pathology. This is the goal
of the AIDPATH project: AIDPATH is composed by 4 companies (Leica, Astrazeneca, Barco and TissueGnostics), 3 hospitals
and 5 research institutions in Europe and funded by Marie Curie Actions FP7 EC-612471 during 4 years. AIDPATH facilitates
the development of digital pathology by producing new products and research results tailored to fulfil their needs. The work
done and the results obtained for different applications in breast and colorectal cancer as well as in nephropathology will be
presented in this conference.
