Have you ever wondered if AI could help doctors find cancer faster and more accurately? In this episode, we explore OmniScreen, an AI-powered biomarker tool that is revolutionizing cancer diagnostics.Joe Oakley, a pathologist and expert in digital pathology, explains how OmniScreen was trained on 3 million digital slides to detect cancer biomarkers with higher precision and speed. He shares how AI is reducing testing time, preserving tissue samples, and improving early cancer detection.We also tackle the big question: Will AI replace pathologists? Joe breaks down the role of AI in pathology and why it should be seen as a tool to assist rather than replace doctors. Plus, learn how AI is helping hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, and researchers in drug development and clinical trials.🔹 Key Topics Covered:✔️ How OmniScreen is transforming cancer diagnostics✔️ AI vs. traditional cancer detection methods✔️ The role of AI in hospitals, pharma, and research✔️ Will AI replace pathologists?
