Recent clinical data confirm the importance of patient stratification in the development of cancer immunotherapies. For instance Merck’success with Keytruda (Pembrolizumab, anti PDL-1) in lung cancer demonstrates that the patient screening according to the ligand overexpression of the therapeutic target is a winning strategy in immuno-oncology.

Though the pertinence of personalized medicine in oncology cannot be argued, one must also consider that the reactivation of the immune system against tumors engage subtle and complex mechanisms, which can be more efficient when multiple pathways are simultaneously activated. This opinion is commonly shared by many researchers in immuno-oncology who engage clinical trials combining therapies against several targets.
If clinical results confirm the relevance of this approach, it will be necessary to qualify patients on the basis of multiple biomarkers. Given the fact that a biopsy can only be used on a few histological slides, an obvious conclusion arises: it becomes urgent to extract several markers from a single slide.
Positive progress of liquid biopsy and molecular biology could potentially address this issue. But these solutions do not allow to localize the marker, which is sometimes required. To get more precise information on the tumor microenvironment, the protein expression is not enough: associated morphologic information needs to be known.
Nowadays several clinical trials in immuno-oncology rely on multiplex immunohistochemistry to use a sufficient number of markers despite the scarcity of biological material. It can be anticipated that the routine histopathologic diagnostic will integrate multiplex analysis of markers so that pathologist can try this new challenge: characterize tumor immune profile from a single biopsy.
Cultural and technological barriers will have to be removed in order to let histopathology progress as fast as the innovations in immuno-oncology. For instance fluorescence revelation is not commonly used by the pathologists. Complex multiplex IHC staining require slide scanners compatible with multispectral imaging, which is not widely spread. Then the volume of data processed from multiplex staining will require to use image analysis solutions able to facilitate the pathologist’s diagnostic. This is a new paradigm for histopathology which is evolving toward a more subtle science than it was already, being source of “rich-data” for the treatment of patients.
This new generation histopathology, led by “augmented pathologists” and able to define the tumor immune profile from one single biopsy, is developed by HISTALIM under the brand named HISTOPROFILE.

Accertify's Q2 Global Air Travel Fraud Report Finds Fraud Pressure Intensifying Across Middle East and Africa15.7.2026 13:00:00 CEST | Press release
Analysis of nearly 133 million airline booking transactions finds bookings departing from Cairo carried the world's highest fraud rate this quarter, while departure cities across the United States and Australia posted among the lowest fraud rates Accertify, a leading fraud decisioning provider whose Predictive Yes Platform helps merchants say yes to more good customers, more revenue, and more growth, today announced the release of its Global Air Travel Fraud Report: Q2 2026, a quarterly analysis examining how fraud pressure varies across global airline markets based on departure city at time of booking. Based on analysis of 132.9 million airline booking transactions processed between April and June 2026, the report evaluates prevented fraud rates across 537 departure cities that each processed at least 10,000 transactions during the quarter, providing airlines with a data-driven view of where Accertify's Predictive Yes platform intervened most frequently at booking. The Q2 findings rev
Forrester’s 2027 Budget Planning Guides: After A Year Of Caution, Business And Tech Leaders Are Ready To Invest Again15.7.2026 11:00:00 CEST | Press release
While leaders are betting on growth, in the age of AI, spending more is no longer enough According to Forrester’s (Nasdaq: FORR) 2027 Budget Planning Guides, business and technology leaders are approaching 2027 with renewed confidence as they increasingly accept volatility as a permanent feature of the business environment. After a year of more cautious spending, more than 80% of leaders expect their budgets to increase over the next 12 months, with as many as one-quarter anticipating growth of 10% or more. But planning in the age of AI demands more than bigger budgets: Increasing investment without modernizing operating models, strengthening data foundations, and improving AI readiness will only accelerate fragmented data, duplicated work, and technical debt. To realize AI’s full potential, leaders must rethink their strategies and prioritize investments in operational foundations, governance, and experimentation that drive tangible outcomes. This year, optimism is widespread across f
Post-Quantum’s Algorithm - Classic McEliece - Achieves Global ISO Standardization to Protect the World From Quantum Cyber Attack15.7.2026 10:00:00 CEST | Press release
Ultra-secure encryption algorithm added to ISO standard for Asymmetric Ciphers Classic McEliece is first PQC algorithm to achieve global standardization Organisations in 177 ISO member states can now adopt Classic McEliece to remain secure from attack by both classical and quantum computers Governments including Germany and the Netherlands already recommend the highly secure Classic McEliece algorithm due to its unmatched security credentials It’s proven that today’s encryption is vulnerable to attack by a sufficiently mature quantum computer running Shor’s algorithm - a catastrophic event commonly known as Q-Day. Even before such a cryptographically relevant quantum computer emerges it is known that adversaries are stealing encrypted data now, which can be decrypted later - also known as Harvest Now, Decrypt Later (HNDL). Google’s recent use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to optimise Shor’s algorithm reduces the number of physical qubits required to break today’s encryption, therefor
Thredd Joins The Visa Agentic Ready Programme, Bringing Agent Network Readiness To Issuers Across Europe, Starting With Zilch15.7.2026 09:00:00 CEST | Press release
Thredd, the AI-first issuer processing platform, today announced it has joined the Visa Agentic Ready programme, enabling issuers across Europe to participate in agent-initiated payments without rebuilding their payments infrastructure. Consumer payments platform Zilch will be among the first issuers on the platform to enable agent-initiated payments for its cardholders. As a processor and enabler, Thredd sits at the trust layer of the payments ecosystem. By joining the programme, Thredd is ready to support Visa and its clients as the market moves into agentic commerce. Agentic commerce introduces a new type of payment initiator: An AI agent acting on a cardholder's behalf. The core payments principles do not change. Cardholder permission, issuer approval, authentication and fraud monitoring all still apply. What changes is how trust is established and enforced at the point an agent transacts. Taking a Zilch customer as an example, a cardholder might ask an AI agent to find a product w
Surgerii Robotics Announces First European Installation of the SHURUI® Single-Port Surgical System at Vall d'Hebron University Hospital15.7.2026 09:00:00 CEST | Press release
Surgerii Robotics today announced the first European installation of its SHURUI Single-Port (SP) Surgical System at Vall d'Hebron University Hospital in Barcelona, Spain, one of Europe's leading academic medical centers. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260713209503/en/ The first pediatric procedure performed with the SHURUI SP system was a nephroureterectomy on a twelve-year-old boy whose kidney and ureter had become infected and non-functional due to multiple stones. The SHURUI SP system is CE-marked for adult and pediatric use, making it the only CE-marked single-port robotic surgical system currently indicated for pediatric procedures in Europe. The installation marks an important milestone in the international expansion of Surgerii Robotics and the introduction of the technology into a major European reference center. As part of this collaboration, Vall d'Hebron University Hospital has become the first hos
