Proscia is Fighting Cancer with Artificial Intelligence -- Red Herring

It is a centuries-old image of good science: the lab-coated expert, hunched over a microscope analyzing a glass slide. Proscia wants to resign it to history – at least, when it comes to battling cancer. The Baltimore-based startup, founded out of Johns Hopkins University in 2014, wants to bring artificial intelligence to dermatopathology, the study of skin-born diseases. It has developed an AI module that can greatly enhance the accuracy and scope of tissue analysis. That means better results, and lower costs.
