Stay up to date with next-generation multiplex fluorescence immunohistochemistry methods

You are invited to attend a webinar hosted by Alexander Klimowicz, Senior Principal Scientist at Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals. This webinar will focus on user experiences with the Ultivue InSituPlex^® fluorescence multiplex IHC platform and provide insight into how this technology can be applied in a research setting to address current challenges, enhance research workflow, and create new opportunities for IHC-based experimentation.

Next-generation multiplex fluorescence immunohistochemistry methods offer new capabilities for scientists to explore the biology of disease within patient tissues. New detection methods based on DNA barcoding of primary antibodies, combined with barcode-specific fluorophores, enable higher-plex assays using standard fluorescence microscopy infrastructure. These methods also have the potential to enable more accurate co-expression analysis, higher-resolution target detection, and streamlined multiplex assay development

You are reminded that to avoid the late payment fee, please ensure that your payment is received by the BSTP on or before 23.59 on Tuesday 30th April.  Any payments received after 00.01 on 1st May, will automatically include the £25 late payment fee.  For those members subscribing to the journal,  your subscription may be suspended after 1st May until your payment is received.

Several notices have been sent out since January advising that your membership payment would be due for payment on 1st April 2019, and as a reminder the fees are as follows:

£60        - BSTP Member - without Journal

£160      - BSTP Member - with Journal (print and online access, including INHAND Supplements = £60 + £100)

£115      - BSTP Member - with Journal (online access only = £60 + £55)

Please renew online and pay by credit card – the preferred option - to start the renewal process, visit http://www.bstp.org.uk/membership-page/

If you would rather pay by bank transfer, please ensure that payment is made in GBP and that you pay the full amount due within 14 days of the generation of your renewal paperwork.   If you pay by bank transfer from outside the UK, you need to ensure that the BSTP receive the full amount due or add £10 to cover any bank or exchange rate charges.  If you have an automatic bank transfer payment set up to pay the BSTP, you need to remember that you still need to complete the online renewal process so that we have on file the paperwork, both for financial and data protection reasons.

The BSTP are no longer able to accept payments by cheque.

Once the payment has been processed, you will automatically receive confirmation of your renewal, don't forget, to download your own receipt or invoice.  The BSTP Secretariat will be notified of your renewal and unless there are any problems, there will be no need for the Secretariat to contact you to confirm your renewal.

If you have any problems renewing your membership online or your circumstances have changed and you prefer not to renew your membership at this time, please contact the BSTP Secretariat as soon as possible.

Integration of Artificial Intelligence with Digital Pathology: Deployment Considerations & Cases Studies in Pharma

By helping scientists make data-driven decisions faster and more efficiently, artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing drug discovery and development.  Pathology is no exception and the Pathology Sciences team at AstraZeneca in Cambridge UK is leading the charge.  Here, neural networks are being deployed to search digital slides for specific tissue classes, features and pathologies that are not easily quantified using traditional image analysis or are too time-consuming for pathologists to quantify by eye.

While AI holds great promise in pathology, it is key to understand the advantages and limitations of the technology in equal measure, the technical (hardware and software) requirements for different deployments, and financial practicalities.  In this one-hour webinar, Daniel Sutton, Senior Scientist at AstraZeneca, will discuss the deployment of AI within the Pathology Science group including:

• Expertise and technology within the group as it relates to image analysis and AI
• Different deployment models for AI and the vendor selection process
• Selection of projects - when does it make sense to use AI?
• The validation processes
• Four practical use-cases for AI in drug discovery and safety assessment

.

Prior to the main presentation, Dr. Kate Lillard Tunstall will give a brief introduction to Indica Labs’ HALO AI solution, introduce some additional use-cases for AI in pathology, and explain how you can get started with AI today.

Who should attend? This webinar is highly recommended for pathologists and scientists with interest in -

• Artificial intelligence, deep learning, machine learning, convolutional neural networks for pathology tissue classification
• Image analysis for digital pathology
• Drug discovery research using tissues (especially oncology)
• Pre-clinical safety assessment/tox pathology
• Time-savings in pathology evaluations for drug development

.

BSTP/STP Webinar: Experimental Pathology Slide Review

The third Experimental Pathology Slide Review BSTP/STP case webinar was held on Tuesday 18th September 2018.

To access a recording of the webinar, please logon to the MEMBERS ONLY area of the BSTP website and view the WEBINARS page.

If you have forgotten your login details please contact the BSTP Secretariat - bstpoffice@aol.com

The EPSR Co-ordinator would like to thank everyone who has registered by returning their EPSR Website Access T&Cs. If this is still on your to do list, the form is available in the EPSR section in the members only area of the website.

Also available is a filterable Excel spreadsheet containing the species, tissue and finding of each EPSR case for ease of identifying lesions of interest and we are now able to share the original case descriptions and discussions if any more detail is required on any of the cases in the EPSR archive.

I hope you agree that this is an exciting offering from the BSTP that will benefit all our members as well as enhancing future Webinars, Continuing Education Symposia and Annual Scientific Meetings, where we can also make use of this facility to share scanned slides. New cases for future use are always very welcome so if you have any interesting or unusual lesions or cases please contact the EPSR Co-ordinator via the BSTP Secretariat.
