Integrated Diagnostics
(IDx)
Program Symposium

Please join us on Friday, October 28, 2022 from 8:30-12:30p for the Integrated Diagnostics Program Symposium, a free half-day event.

IDx Symposium 2022

ABOUT THIS EVENT

The Integrated Diagnostics Shared Resource (https://idx.medsch.ucla.edu) is a multidisciplinary effort to collect, curate, and disseminate multi-scale, multi-modal datasets that integrate clinical, diagnostic imaging, digital pathomics, and tissue/blood biospecimens to support the development and validation of new biomarkers for early detection and diagnosis of cancer. Over the past eight years, the program has developed large radiology-pathology correlated imaging and tissue biobanks in prostate, lung, and breast cancer with emerging programs in kidney and liver.

We invite anyone interested in the intersection of cancer imaging, digital pathology, bioinformatics, and machine learning to learn more about the existing data resource and discuss needs and opportunities to evolve the program into a valuable multi-national resource. Activities will include an introduction to the Integrated Diagnostics Program, talks highlighting late-breaking research using multi-modal datasets, national initiatives to integrate and disseminate radiology-pathology data, networking opportunities, and interactive discussions.
