LDCRC Researchers Publish New Findings in Bioinformatics

The LDCRC is delighted to share a new publication:
“Semi-supervised Learning for Automated Perineural Invasion Detection in Multi-Organ H&E Whole Slide Images” 

Authored by Ahmad Alkhan, Michael Lynch, Elizabeth Ryan, Dr. Máire Lavelle and Aedin Culhane, this study was recently published in Bioinformatics. 

The research explores the use of semi-supervised learning and artificial intelligence to automate the detection of perineural invasion in H&E whole slide images across multiple organs.

The study highlights the growing potential of AI and computational pathology to support more scalable, efficient, and accurate approaches to cancer research and diagnosis.

We are also delighted to wish lead author Ahmad Alkhan the very best of luck as he presents these findings at the European Conference on Computational Biology (ECCB) in Geneva, beginning on 31 August 2026. 

Congratulations to Ahmad and all the authors and collaborators on this excellent achievement!
