Digital pathology, unlike its more mature radiographic counterpart, has yet to standardize on a single storage and transport media. The result of this lack of uniformly accepted standards is that outside a given laboratory of small collaborative groups, the integration of pathology data with radiographic, genomic, and proteomic data is all but impossible.

This sub-project addresses the lack of uniformly accepted standards within digital pathology and the simultaneous need for integration of pathology data with radiographic, genomic, and proteomic data. Its mission is to create an open-source digital pathology image server that can host and serve digital pathology images for any of the major vendors without recoding. This, facilitating data integration. This image server would establish an informatics and IT infrastructure to implement pilot challenges for clinical and pre-clinical studies that integrate the (CKK: talk to Ulli about different names for the same? domains mentioned on this page) genomics, diagnostic imaging, and digital pathology domains.
