Wouter Bulten, Chief innovation officer of Aiosyn: “At Aiosyn, we recognize the critical role pathologists play in diagnostics. Through close collaboration, this EFRO grant enables us to further develop AI tools that support pathologists and enhance pathology practice.”
Close to 20 million patients are diagnosed with cancer every year1. Unfortunately, incidence is expected to increase in the upcoming decades, with a predicted global burden of about 30 million new cancer cases per year by 20402. This underlines the need for new tools to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the disease diagnosis and treatment.
As part of this project, Aiosyn will further develop and validate AI-powered algorithms for breast and skin cancer diagnosis. One of such algorithms is Aiosyn’s solution for automated mitosis detection. The quantification of mitotic figures in cancer tissue is an essential part of the diagnosis of multiple tumor types. By leveraging AI-based digital biomarkers, pathologists can more accurately predict tumor growth and understand patient prognosis. This will help reduce observer variability, improve the accuracy and consistency of diagnoses, and ultimately enhance patient outcomes.
Jeroen van der Laak, professor at Radboud university medical center and CSO of Aiosyn: “Once you have decided which problem to solve, and have collected all required data, developing AI for Pathology is doable. But collecting high-quality data is tough, and getting the AI to a level that truly creates patient value is even tougher. In our AIRAT project we will tackle those challenges: collect multi-center data and move the developed AI forward to a certified product, ready to support pathologists.”
Aiosyn’s algorithms will be fully integrated in existing digital pathology workflows such as Sectra. The AI-powered solutions will aim to provide major progress in the assessment and disease management of cancer patients worldwide.
“We are excited to partner with Aiosyn and Radboud UMC on this project," said Matthijs van Oosterhout, on behalf of Pathologie-DNA, chairman of Pathologie-DNA B.V. "Together, we can leverage our respective strengths to develop AI solutions that will improve patient outcomes and advance the field of pathology. This collaboration is a great example of how start-ups and established companies can work together to drive innovation."

Perma-Pipe International Holdings, Inc. Secures $52 Million in Third-Quarter Awards, Expands Global Reach With U.S. Data Centers and Saudi Aramco Projects3.12.2025 14:45:00 CET | Press release
Perma-Pipe International Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: PPIH) today announced that it secured $52 million in project awards during the third quarter of 2025, including $30 million previously announced in September. The additional $22 million in new awards includes major data center infrastructure projects in the United States and Saudi Aramco–related projects to be executed from the company’s recently approved Dammam, Saudi Arabia facility. “These awards underscore the accelerating demand we’re seeing across mission-critical infrastructure, especially in the data center sector,” said Marc Huber, Senior Vice President, North America. “Our teams continue to deliver the technical capabilities, responsiveness, and reliability that our customers expect as they scale up.” Adham Sharkawi, Senior Vice President, MENA, added: “Growth in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a strategic priority for Perma-Pipe. The new Saudi Aramco awards demonstrate our strengthened local presence in Dammam and reinforce our
Second Front Systems Announces 10 Customers Prepared to Deploy on AWS European Sovereign Cloud via Game Warden® Platform3.12.2025 14:30:00 CET | Press release
Unlocks opportunity for Second Front customers to support European nations with strict data sovereignty requirements. Second Front Systems (2F), a Technology Partner in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Partner Network (APN) and Global Security and Compliance Acceleration (GSCA) Program, today announced that ten of its existing customers have prepared for deployment onto AWS European Sovereign Cloud (ESC) via its 2F Game Warden® platform. This builds on Second Front's September announcement that 2F Game Warden will serve as an on-ramp to ESC. Independent software vendors (ISVs) seeking to support European organizations face complex regulatory requirements, including Germany's C5, and the EU's Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and NIS2 Directive. By leveraging 2F Game Warden, ISVs can inherit a number of controls and expedite compliance with security frameworks. This collaboration unlocks a pre-validated solution for ISVs to meet these stringent compliance requirements while maintai
ViaLase Announces First Patient Treated in IDE Clinical Trial Evaluating Its Femtosecond Laser Trabeculotomy for Open-Angle Glaucoma3.12.2025 14:00:00 CET | Press release
Prospective, randomized controlled trial compares novel femtosecond laser procedure to selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT), advancing path to US commercialization ViaLase, Inc., a clinical-stage medical technology company pioneering incision-free, laser-based solutions for glaucoma, today announced that the first patient has been treated in its U.S. Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) clinical trial evaluating the company’s femtosecond laser trabeculotomy procedure for the management of glaucoma, a lifelong, progressive, and incurable disease that remains a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide.

Owkin Announces International Validation Results of BRCAura: AI-Driven Screening for gBRCA Mutations Directly From Pathology Slides3.12.2025 14:00:00 CET | Press release
Owkin shares promising validation results for BRCAura RUO, a clinical-grade research-use-only AI product designed to screen for germline BRCA1/2 mutations (gBRCAm) directly from digitized breast cancer pathology slides. Breast cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women worldwide. Identifying patients with germline BRCA1/2 mutations is essential for guiding targeted treatment decisions, but testing is not always consistently offered to eligible individuals, and implementation varies between countries. The model concept was initiated as part of Owkin’s ongoing partnership with Gustave Roussy and Centre Léon Bérard through PortrAIt, a French consortium dedicated to advancing precision medicine with AI-enabled digital pathology. Fostered through collaboration with AstraZeneca, as announced in October 2024, the development of BRCAura aims to accelerate and expand identification of BRCA mutations in patients with breast cancer. Strong validation across internationa
