Dr. Eberhard has been active in developing standardized approaches for molecular pathologic analyses of solid tumors in clinical trials, such as the publication of industry working group recommendations for EGFR testing in pathology. “The addition of Dr. Eberhard to Flagship’s pathology and development team further strengthens our position as a leader in qualitative and quantitative digital pathology.” said Dr. David Young, President of Flagship Biosciences.“He has been a steady encouragement from the beginnings of Flagship and has a great vision for applications of image analysis in both research and clinical medicine”.
David Eberhard has served on the Scientific Advisory Board for Flagship Biosciences, and in his new expanded role will strengthen the collaboration provided by Flagship’s network of anatomic pathologists of various specializations in the United States and Europe, and facilitate closer interactions and innovation between Flagship’s new quantitative pathology approaches, academic investigation and oncology drug development. “Flagship has a unique focus on cutting-edge digital pathology approaches to maximize efficiency of anatomic pathology analyses, to allow precise, accurate and reproducible quantitation of pathology readouts, and to support the clinical development of drugs and companion diagnostics” said Dr. Eberhard. “Flagship’s perspective and expertise represent a valuable resource for basic, translational and clinical R&D that has huge potential to create real progress in science and industry.”
Flagship Biosciences is a pathologist-owned pharmaceutical services organization that specializes in the delivery of quantitative pathology to pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device clients. Flagship leverages digital pathology to combine novel quantitative scoring algorithms with anatomic pathology expertise and experience. They are the largest provider of pathologist-supervised brightfield and fluorescence scanning and image analysis capabilities.
