2015 Pathology 2.0 group of ESTP Webinars
Tissue section-based investigative technologies

With the objective of continuous pathology education, ESTP Pathology 2.0 group invites you to a series of 4 webinars on Advanced Pathology Technologies during this year. The second and third webinars will focus on digital image analysis of immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization and it's uses to quantify biomarker expression and utilization as a multiplexing tool.

Webinar 2. Digital Image Analysis and Multiplexing of Biomarkers – Part 1

Speaker: Famke Aeffner, DVM, PhD, DACVP
Associate Director of Pathology; Flagship Biosciences Inc.
Moderator: Helen Angell, BSc, PhD
Senior Scientist, Molecular Pathology, Translational Science, Oncology iMed, AstraZeneca.
Date: Tuesday, 28 April 2015 at 2 p.m. CET

Objectives:

  • This is the first of two webinars addressing image analysis and multiplexing of IHC and/or ISH labelling in tissue sections; we strongly recommend attending both to get the full benefit. The second webinar will run in June.
  • The 45 minute webinar will revisit the basic approaches of digital image analysis and it's utility to quantify biomarker expression in both IHC and CISH-stained sections. Specific aspects that will be covered include:
    • Measurable endpoints e.g. Area-based, cell-based and object-based;
    • Quality control including pre-analysis parameter control;
    • The pathologist's role in an image analysis team
  • The 15 minute Q&A session will allow the participants to ask questions directly to the speaker and the moderator.
Who should attend?
  • Pathologists, residents and scientists working with IHC, CISH.
  • Little prior knowledge of digital image analysis is required.
