PathExplore
Unprecedented resolution of the tumor microenvironment (TME) from H&E, powered by AI.
PathExplore is an AI-powered panel of histopathology features that spatially characterize the tumor microenvironment (TME) with single-cell resolution1
Pixel-Level Analysis of Gigapixel Images
PathExplore’s underlying AI models segment, detect, and classify millions of cells across tissue regions of the entire hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) whole slide image (WSI).
HIFs – Structured, Standardized, and Scalable Analysis of the TME
Human interpretable features (HIFs) are standardized metrics that characterize the cell and tissue composition of each WSI. PathExplore delivers >600 unique HIFs per sample, including counts of cells and their spatial distribution across tissue regions, to enable streamlined and structured analysis of the TME.
Example Human Interpretable Features:
- Area of Tumor Tissue
- Total Number of Lymphocytes
- Density of Lymphocytes in Stroma (Stromal TILs)
- Ratio of Lymphocytes to Fibroblasts Near the Epithelial-Stromal Interface

Case Study 1
Exploring Histological Features of Molecular Biomarkers
PathExplore HIFs demonstrate biologically-relevant correlations with molecular measurements of lymphocyte abundance and immune infiltration across multiple tumor types.
Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) play a prominent role in cancer prognosis and treatment decision-making. In a poster presented at SITC, researchers demonstrated a correlation between lymphocyte-associated Human Interpretable Features (HIFs) and established lymphocyte markers from molecular measurement (e.g. CD8A) as well as complex immune signatures (e.g., lymphocyte infiltration)
Case Study 2
Discovering Novel Biomarkers
PathExplore analysis of the tumor microenvironment revealed a relationship between cell nuclear morphology and patient outcomes in high-grade serous ovarian cancer.
Manual pathology techniques can fall short in understanding the underlying disease biology of aggressive cancers. In a poster presented at ESMO, researchers uncovered a link between cancer cell nuclear size variability and overall survival, showcasing the potential of HIFs derived from H&E whole slide images as powerful predictors of patient response.
