Best Clinical Poster Award - Pathology Visions 2020

Dr. Jeff Goldstein, MD, PhD won the best clinical poster award at Pathology Visions 2020. His poster "AI estimation of gestational age based on microscopic appearance of placental villi" describes a model for predicting gestational age from whole-slide images of placenta histology. Abnormal maturation rates of the placenta are indicators of a variety of possible conditions, and a computational system can help to overcome the considerable subjectivity of manually calling gestational age currently done by pathologists. This work was supported by Dr. Goldstein's NIBIB K08 Clinical Investigator Award.
