19 MAY 2024Leveraging Downstream AnalysisAs pathologists prioritize clinical matters, the duration of slide readings continues to increase for research. However, its team of over 135 on-demand pathologists streamlines this critical research with access to numerous sub-specialty pathologists specializing in neurology, toxicology, immuno-oncology, and musculoskeletal disease. The result is an exceptionally swift turnaround time for its customers­typically three days for expedited orders and ten days for standard turnaround time from order acceptance. Inquiries span a wide range, from standard human and mouse models to unconventional ones like coral reefs. It can tap into the knowledge of top experts across various fields, ensuring comprehensive coverage and support for clients. HistoWiz's pathology consultation group has performed thousands of studies including primary, secondary, and peer review. Its expansive network of pathologists and new interactive report is gaining attention from both US-based and international clients, "This new interactive report is a game-changer. Every piece of data and annotation is in the report, and customers can view all data with just a click," says Julie Feldstein, MD and Chief Pathologist at HistoWiz.Advancing Research through Digital CollaborationThe shift toward digital pathology represents a change in conducting research. Customers can collaborate more effectively, sharing digital slides with peers and integrating links to full-slide images in their publications--a feature highly regarded by academic journals. These digital slides lay the groundwork for developing advanced tools, from image analysis to artificial intelligence applications, marking a significant leap forward in research capabilities compared to traditional methods.The digital platform accelerates, simplifies, and enhances online review of pathology slides, addressing challenges posed by collaboration with clients in the US and internationally. In one instance, a client required a significant volume of archive prostate biopsies, necessitating the expertise of subspecialized G.U. fellowship-trained pathologists. HistoWiz engaged nearly seven G.U. pathologists and annotated up to 7,000 slides within a few months. Enhancing the User ExperienceThe company's inception was driven by the urgent need to expedite tissue processing, particularly in response to investigators facing tight deadlines for funding submissions and pharmaceutical companies navigating regulatory timelines. By working as a partner with its clients, HistoWiz is continuously looking for new ways to offer new products and services. The many recent enhancements to the PathologyMap digital management platform has simplified pathology research and given researchers unprecedented access to qualitative and quantitative interpretation right at their fingertips.HistoWiz's innovative approach to histology services, underpinned by its commitment to automation and digital pathology, sets a new standard in preclinical research. As the research community navigates challenges, HistoWiz's role as a rapid, collaborative, and cutting-edge research facilitator becomes indispensable. This new interactive report is a game-changer.
