In a recent interview with a Korean healthcare media outlet, Jason An, Founder and CEO of Urbandatalab AI, shared the company’s vision for the future of digital pathology and AI-driven precision oncology.

The interview highlighted the journey behind Urbandatalab AI, which builds on the foundation established in Korea through Urban Data Lab. Before launching its U.S. headquarters, the founding team worked closely with leading hospitals in Korea to support digital pathology adoption and develop AI-based solutions for pathology workflows and biomedical research.

During the interview, An introduced two major areas of focus. The first is an integrated digital pathology platform designed to support hospitals throughout their digital transformation journey. The second is an AI biomarker solution that helps researchers and clinicians better analyze cancer characteristics, biomarker expression, and treatment response through advanced pathology data analysis.

An also explained the strategic importance of Urbandatalab AI’s U.S. headquarters. By establishing its base in the United States, the company aims to expand collaboration with global healthcare, biotechnology, and research partners while accelerating the development and validation of next-generation AI solutions in pathology.

Looking ahead, Urbandatalab AI plans to continue advancing technologies that connect digital pathology, artificial intelligence, and multi-omics data. The company’s long-term vision is to contribute to a future where more precise analysis supports better research, drug development, and patient care in oncology and beyond.
