Hakim Benkirane Institute: Université Paris-Saclay Date: March 13, 2025 Title: Advancing multimodal integration in precision oncology: Bridging multi-omics and histopathology Abstract: Integrating multi-omics data with histopathology is a rapidly evolving frontier in precision oncology, offering unprecedented insights into tumor biology and patient-specific treatment strategies. However, this integration presents significant challenges, including data heterogeneity, missing modalities, and the need for scalable, interpretable models. In this seminar, we will first outline the state of multimodal integration in oncology, discussing key computational approaches and their limitations. We will then highlight recent advances being developed in our lab, including novel AI-driven methods for robust multimodal fusion, cross-modal and improved predictive modeling. Our work aims to enhance biomarker discovery and refine patient stratification.
