Carolyn Glass, MD PhD, Co-Director of the Duke Division of Artificial Intelligence and Computational Pathology, gave two virtual presentations centered on machine learning in the thoracic transplantation space at the Banff-Canadian Society for Transplantation Meeting September 19-23, 2022, in Banff, Canada.
In her first talk, “Applications of Machine Learning and Computational Pathology in Cardiac Transplantation,” Glass reviewed high-impact publications and ongoing projects in the field of cardiac transplantation, including cardiac allograft rejection. In her second talk, “Machine Learning in Lung Transplantation,” Glass discussed ongoing national efforts to educate, validate and development quality assurance metrics for future clinical adoption of machine learning diagnostics in the pipeline. Machine learning and computational pathology are fast growing, multi-disciplinary fields, with several leading pathology departments planning to become fully digitized within the next 10 years.
The Canadian Society of Transplantation is a professional organization for physicians, surgeons, scientists and allied health professionals working in the field of transplantation with more than 600 members from across the country in all transplant fields, in clinical practice and scientific research.
