Event-Driven Digital Pathology: Governed Whole Slide Image Ingestion to Scalable Inference with Amazon SageMaker

This blog post will detail how Genmab, a leading biotech company, built an automated pipeline on AWS that handles whole-slide images from start to finish, cutting analysis time from hours to under 30 minutes per batch and reducing manual work by 80 percent. We will walk through how Genmab achieved this using AWS services and share the key lessons they learned along the way.
