The University of Pittsburgh and the technology company Leidos announced a $10 million partnership to advance Pitt’s Computational Pathology and AI Center of Excellence (CPACE) on Friday, April 18, 2025.
The first focus of the five-year collaboration will be developing AI-powered tools for quicker detection of diseases, like heart disease and cancer, reducing diagnostic turnaround times and enabling earlier, more effective care management.
This partnership merges academic excellence and technological innovation, acting as a catalyst to expand Pitt’s impact in applying AI to health care—both regionally and beyond.
