Medipath

Medipath is a leading French organisation and an established reference in the field of pathology, with a particular focus on oncology. With over 25 years of experience, the group is committed to upholding the highest standards of quality and expertise, contributing to the advancement of diagnostic practices and improved patient outcomes. Medipath brings together over 110 pathologists across a network of 30 pathology labs and employs over 700 professionals. It plays a significant role in the French healthcare system, collaborating with more than 250 healthcare institutions and processing over 1.5 million cases annually, representing more than 10% of all cancer diagnoses in France. Its general and molecular pathology platform is fully equiped to perform advanced molecular analyses supporting personalised and targeted therapies. Medipath is actively engaged in research and innovation through its biobanking activities, providing high-quality biological samples and associated data. In collaboration with France Tissue Bank and supported by a structured sourcing network, Medipath contributes to the implementation of collaborative research projects at both national and European levels.

Role within TWIN-X

Within this European initiative, Medipath plays a key role by leveraging its nationwide network and privileged access to diverse, real-world clinical data. Covering a broad spectrum of pathologies and patient populations, this positioning provides a strong foundation for the development, validation and scalability of robust and reliable generative AI models. Medipath’s contribution primarily focuses on the provision of high-quality, multimodal data derived from routine clinical practice, ensuring both clinical relevance and representativeness. This approach contributes to mitigating bias and strengthening the performance, reliability and trustworthiness of AI-based applications. In this context, the integration of digital pathology data, including whole slide imaging (WSI), significantly enhances the analytical capabilities and learning potential of the models. In addition, in close collaboration with France Tissue Bank, Medipath contributes to project coordination and governance activities, supporting the efficient management and alignment of data provision processes. The organisation is also actively involved in the structuring and standardisation of unstructured clinical data, a critical step to ensure interoperability and to maximise the value of health data within European research and innovation frameworks.
