βš‘οΈπŸ”¬πŸ“£ Excited to share our new @Nature article building and evaluating PathChat, a multimodal generative AI copilot and chatbot for human pathology. Article: nature.com/articles/s41586-0… Open Access Link: rdcu.be/dKC0r We leverage our previous success in building foundation models for computational pathology such as UNI / CONCH and combine it with the advancements of large vision language models and generative AI to enable PathChat to answer diverse pathology-related queries. We assessed PathChat using both multiple choice diagnostic questions and open-ended questions. Congratulations to @MYLu97 @chenbowen118 @DFKW_MD @richardjchen and everyone else who contributed to this work. Also see blog post from @MYLu97 about this work: linkedin.com/pulse/towards-m… , also teasing the development and preview of PathChat 2, a successor to PathChat 1 bringing new capabilities and substantially improved performance to the state-of-the-art.

We're thrilled to share our recent @NatureMedicine study, cracking the decades-old mystery surrounding the identity of cells responsible for producing erythropoietin (Epo) - the key regulator of erythropoiesis and oxygen homeostasis in our bodies. nature.com/articles/s41591-0… (1/16)

The Yoshino cherry trees in the Quad are nearly 90 years old! #TBT They were originally planted at the Washington Park Arboretum but were moved onto the campus in 1962 to protect the trees from the construction of SR520. 🌸 #UWcherryblossoms @uwcherryblossom

This week in @Nature we present our #SingleCell dissection of #ApoE4, the strongest genetic variant for #Alzheimers. ApoE4 impairs #cholesterol #transport, leading to #oligodendrocyte ER accumulation, decreased #myelination. Restoring transport restores mouse cognition. #Hope #AD
