Researchers have developed a novel method for predicting molecular information from histopathology images, specifically H&E-stained slides, without the need for costly RNA sequencing. By training a lightweight alignment module on frozen foundation models for histopathology and RNA-Seq, the system can perform open-vocabulary molecular prompting. This approach achieved a 25-fold improvement in retrieval accuracy on a multi-cancer cohort and demonstrated clinical utility by accurately predicting squamous cell carcinoma scores and mirroring PD-L1 expression levels in non-small-cell lung carcinoma.
