Bernard Fox: A New Approach to Predicting Tumor Immunity from H&E Slides

Bernard Fox, Co- founder, President, and CEO of UbiVac, shared Patrick Hwu’s, President and CEO at Moffitt Cancer Center, shared on LinkedIn:

“Incredible news! – T and B cell predictions from an H&E slide!

‘Immunoscore’ testing done without immunohistochemical staining!

Prof. Carlo Bifulco the ROCKSTAR Chief Medical Officer for Genomics at Earle A. Chiles Research Institute / Providence Cancer Institute just gave Tour de force presentation. The future is now.

Rapid prediction of patient outcomes from an H&E. More to be done! But this guy is doing it!

Watch this guy! The Foundation Model he and colleagues developed is already independently validated! This technology will be what pharma needs to personalize therapies that have highest chance to improve patient outcomes.”

The Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) Annual Meeting is the world’s premier scientific forum dedicated exclusively to advancing cancer immunology and immunotherapy.

SITC’s annual meeting focuses entirely on immuno-oncology – the science of harnessing the human body’s immune system, specifically utilizing T cells, B cells, and natural killer (NK) cells, to target and eradicate malignancies. The event acts as a high-stakes arena for debuting: 

  • Late-breaking clinical trial data for novel immunotherapies and combination treatments.
  • Cutting-edge technologies in spatial biology, computational pathology, and oncology-focused artificial intelligence.
  • Next-generation therapeutics, including personalized mRNA cancer vaccines, CAR-T cell therapies, and immune checkpoint inhibitors.
