Bigpicture Community Meeting
Bigpicture Community Meeting
We are excited to invite you to the first Bigpicture Community Meeting, themed ‘The Digital Transformation of Pathology’. During the online meeting, Prof. Jeroen van der Laak, WP1 Bigpicture Project Coordinator, and Dr Julie Boisclair, WP1 EFPIA Lead, will explain the foundation of the Bigpicture project, and cover the status of the project’s work and future applications.
Bigpicture is a pioneering initiative aimed at revolutionizing artificial intelligence (AI) development in pathology through the development of a comprehensive repository for whole slide images in collaboration with 45 private and public partners.
Not just ‘another’ presentation, this online meeting is a call to action for pathologists, researchers, AI developers, and industry stakeholders to join hands in creating a sustainable, inclusive platform that ensures the longevity and success of digital pathology. The Bigpicture Community Meeting is a great opportunity both for potential contributors and users of Bigpicture data and AI models. We will explore the project’s objectives, structure, and the opportunities it presents.
The First Bigpicture Community Meeting serves as an introduction to the project’s aim of transforming digital pathology across Europe. Participants of the meeting will explore the opportunities that the Bigpicture project will provide for its future contributors and users. In short, the meeting will cover:
Introduction of Bigpicture
Purpose, objectives, project structure
Status of the project’s work
Architecture, security, tools, legal challenges, data
Sneak peek of the AI models, tooling enhancements, user interaction frameworks
Prospects and opportunities for organizations
Next steps, outline of future opportunities, platform sustainability
We look forward to welcoming you to the first Bigpicture community meeting that promises to be both informative and inspiring!

Speakers
Jeroen van der Laak, PhD, Bigpicture Coordinator, is Professor of Computational Pathology and holds the status of Principal Investigator within the RUMC. Jeroen van der Laak has (co)-authored >125 peer-reviewed journal publications. His research group has built a state-of-the-art repertoire of machine learning techniques, implemented in extensive software libraries. Board member of the Digital Pathology Association, initiator and organizer of the Computational Pathology Symposium of the European Congress of Pathology, chair of the task force ‘AI in Pathology’ of the European Society of Pathology, Distinguished Faculty for the PathLAKE consortium, guest professor at Linköping University in Sweden, initiator and organizer of the CAMELYON Grand Challenges.
Dr Julie Boisclair completed her Residency and Master in Veterinary Pathology in 2001 from the University of Montreal, Canada, with an emphasis on liver pathology. Since then, she worked exclusively in the toxicologic pathology field, both in pharma and CRO, supporting regulatory and investigative toxicological studies for drug development. Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Pathologist and the American Board of Toxicologist, her curious mind always seeks for the pathogenesis behind various drug-induced toxicities and their translatability to human. She is leading the digital transformation of pathology in the Novartis Preclinical Safety group and embracing the computational pathology advances that has the potential to revolutionize the toxicologic pathology field.
