The beginnings of computational pathology with Jeroen van der Laak
Channel: Aleksandra Zuraw Digital Pathology Place
Date: 2022-11-04

We are kicking off this event by thanking two institutions who made it possible:

Charles River Laboratories & Radboud University Medical Center

Charles River let Aleksandra Zuraw take a month off to work on a sabbatical project. She reached out to Jeroen van der Laak, one of the leaders of the computational pathology group at RadboudUMC and asked if his group would be up to preparing a comprehensive computational pathology resource for the digital pathology community. As a result this event with a series of podcast/ webinar-style lectures on various topics of computational pathology was created for everyone to learn from. 

All the lectures will be available for you under the creative commons attribution license.

And in this first lecture Jeroen van der Laak will tell you about:

- How the collaboration between computer scientists and pathologists started before computational pathology was even a thing.
- What defines success in the computational pathology field.
- What changed in this field in the past 30 years.
- Why being open-minded is one of the most important in the digital pathology world.
