Experts discuss role of AI in improving HER2 cancer diagnostics

In a recent episode of the Denatured podcast, Jennifer C. Smith-Parker, Director of Insights at BioSpace, discussed advances in digital pathology and artificial intelligence (AI) with Dr. Rob Monroe and Jennifer Faikish from Danaher Corporation. The conversation focused on how these technologies are improving the measurement of HER2 levels in cancer patients.
