Applications of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Toxicologic Pathology

Friday, September 24

Co-Chairs: Famke Aeffner, DVM, PhD, DACVP, Amgen; Oliver C. Turner, BSc(Hons), BVSc, MRCVS, PhD, DACVP, DABT, Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research; and Manu S. Sebastian, DVM, PhD, DACVP, DABT, ACLAM, MD Anderson Cancer Center

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are transforming all aspects of health care—including drug development. This CE course aims at introducing this technology to toxicologists and toxicologic pathologists, as well as highlighting promise and pitfalls. To illustrate the power of machine learning, the session concludes with presentations highlighting practical applications, presented by colleagues with hands-on experience.
