Jan. 4, 2024—FormaPath and the University at Buffalo Center for Advanced Technology in Big Data and Health Sciences (UB CAT) announced their collaboration to further test and develop FormaPath’s AdiPress, an automated lymph node dissection device.

FormaPath and John Tomaszewski, MD, SUNY distinguished professor and the Peter A. Nickerson, PhD, Professor and Chair, Department of Pathology and Anatomical Sciences, Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at UB, will use AdiPress to conduct comprehensive analyses of tissue specimens to identify and create lymph node–rich samples. This work will lead to the creation of a digital lymph node database, which will allow FormaPath to explore computational methods, including AI, that identify and analyze lymph nodes with metastatic disease.
