We鈥檙e excited to share a snapshot of our achievements and activities over the past year at the TIA Centre. From conference organisation to PhD graduations, it鈥檚 been a busy and rewarding period. Take a look at our Year in Numbers here.

American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Conference (29th May - 2nd June 2025)

The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual conference is the premier event for showcasing advancements in clinical oncology. Attracting over 40,000 attendees each year, this conference has been held at the McCormick Conference Centre in Chicago, Illinois, for many years due to its sheer scale. This year's line-up promised many high-profile and impressive clinical trials, so I felt honoured to be able to attend and present my work. Read more.

This year鈥檚 International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI) was held in Houston, Texas—home to NASA鈥檚 Johnson Space Center and the sprawling Texas Medical Center. With sunny skies and wide Texan roads welcoming us, we arrived two days early to make the most of the trip before diving into 4 days of cutting-edge research. We kicked off our trip with an NBA game at the Toyota Center and followed it up with a tour of the NASA Space Center. Walking through the rocket park and seeing the Saturn V rocket and the SpaceX Falcon 9 Booster up close was an unforgettable reminder of how science can propel us (literally!) to new frontiers.

The Bigpicture project is an initiative aimed at transforming the field of pathology through the creation of a comprehensive, high-quality digital repository of three million pathology images. Funded by the EU Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI), Bigpicture brings together a consortium of leading academic institutions, research organisations, and industry partners from across Europe and beyond. The project鈥檚 mission is to develop an open-access platform that leverages artificial intelligence and machine learning to analyse vast amounts of pathology data, advancing research, diagnostics, and treatment in healthcare. By fostering collaboration and innovation, Bigpicture envisions a future where digital pathology becomes a cornerstone of precision medicine, enabling faster, more accurate diagnoses and personalised patient care.

A recent study introduces a novel deep learning method for segmenting blood vessels (BVs) in H&E tissue slides, addressing the challenge of BV heterogeneity.

A recent study accepted by ISBI 2025 introduces a novel model that improves cancer grade classification and gland segmentation.

The recent Oral Epithelial Dysplasia (OED) Workshop, held at The Edge in Sheffield on 18 November 2024, marked a significant milestone for the ANTICIPATE project. Since its inception in 2020, this Cancer Research UK (CRUK)-funded collaboration between the TIA Centre at 糖心TV and the Neopath team at Sheffield has aimed to revolutionise the grading of OED. By leveraging AI-based tools, the project has sought to refine grading methodologies while uncovering novel biomarkers to improve clinical outcomes.

On Wednesday, October 2, 2024, I attended the 3rd annual Digital Pathology and AI showcase event titled "Digital Pathology Algorithms (DP and AI): Are we looking at the patient journey?", sponsored by Roche Diagnostics UK and Ireland. The event was an insightful exploration of how digital pathology and AI algorithms are transforming healthcare, with a particular focus on improving the patient journey. Read More

ECP, Florence, another great opportunity to mix networking, work and sightseeing in a jam-packed week. 鈥淯nfortunately鈥� there were no direct flights to Florence from Birmingham. This therefore required me to travel to Florence via Pisa the day before the conference. This allowed me to visit the iconic leaning tower, which certainly didn鈥檛 fail to impress. From there, it was a scenic 50-minute journey on a double-decker train to Florence. Read MoreLink opens in a new window

After attending the 28th Conference on Medical Imaging and Analysis (MIUA 2024) in July, I was refreshed to learn about up-and-coming research in medical imaging. It was a collage of brilliant ideas and contributions to the different realms of medical imaging, including brain, dental bone, endoscopy, cardiac, whole slide imaging, and more.
