HAI Seminar with Sheng Wang: Generative AI for Multimodal Biomedicine

In this seminar, Sheng Wang, Assistant Professor in the School of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington Seattle, introduced three recent works towards building multimodal biomedicine foundation models: GigaPath, the first whole-slide pathology foundation model that can handle gigapixel-level pathology images; OCTCube, the first 3D OCT retinal imaging foundation model; and BiomedParse, a multi-modal foundation model that integrates 9 major biomedical imaging modalities by projecting all of them into the text space. The presentation was followed by a discussion on how multi-modal generative AI can advance future medical applications through multi-agent framework and integration with multi-omics datasets. This seminar was recorded on November 6, 2024 at Stanford University.
