Abstract: <\/b>Routine Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) stained slides harbor a wealth of diagnostic and prognostic information that extends far beyond what conventional visual inspection can extract. This talk traces the evolution of computational pathology, from foundational digital infrastructure like the Virtual Microscope to advanced deep learning methodologies. I will discuss our recent pathology AI research, including latent conditional diffusion models for predicting immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining directly from H&E, the generation of privacy-preserving synthetic tissues, explainable pathology AI, and techniques for extracting pathology synoptic elements using biologically interpretable models. I will also describe our collaborative work with UNC in breast cancer, focusing on the predictive value of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and the use of quantitative tissue morphology to accurately forecast clinical outcomes.<\/div>\n
