Artificial Intelligence Serving Diagnosis in Thoracic Pathology
IHU RespirERA is organizing an international congress of excellence in Nice, at Hôtel Le Saint Paul, dedicated to the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into thoracic pathology. This scientific event is aimed at healthcare professionals, pathologists, oncologists, biologists, researchers, and digital health experts who wish to anticipate the ongoing transformations in the diagnosis of respiratory and thoracic diseases.
At a time when precision medicine is redefining standards of care, the integration of AI into clinical practice has become a major driver for improving tissue analysis, refining biomarker interpretation, and optimizing diagnostic pathways.
An Ambitious Vision: From Research to Clinical Applications
The congress will cover the full scientific continuum, from fundamental research to concrete applications in clinical practice.
Topics will include:
- Whole-slide imaging analysis and automated lesion classification
- Development of predictive algorithms for therapeutic response
- Decision-support tools for pulmonary and mediastinal diseases
- Integration of AI into diagnostic workflows
These advances are paving the way for augmented pathology, more reproducible, faster, and more precise, directly benefiting patients with respiratory diseases, particularly thoracic cancers.
International Expertise Gathered in Nice
The congress will bring together leading specialists from internationally renowned institutions.
- For IHU RespirERA: Nicholas Ayache, Hervé Delingette, Marius Ilié, Guylène Rignol, François Ghiringhelli, Paul Hofman
- International speakers: John Le Quesne, Jan H. von der Thüsen, Albrecht Stenzinger, Philippe Joubert, Fernando Lopez-Rios, Denis Horgan, Danni Jonigk, Mihaela Aldea and Umberto Malapelle
Accelerating the Integration of AI into the Care Pathway
Beyond sharing expertise, this event aims to strengthen international collaborations and support the operational integration of AI into diagnostic practice.
As biological and histological data become increasingly complex, Artificial Intelligence stands out as a structuring tool to enhance the quality, personalization, and speed of diagnosis in thoracic pathology.
Healthcare professionals, researchers, and digital health stakeholders are invited to join this high-level meeting and help shape the future of respiratory diagnostics.
