Welcome to the "Digital Pathology Gateway," an annual series set against the vibrant backdrop of Mumbai, home to the iconic Gateway of India. Just as this historic monument marks the gateway to a dynamic city, our series opens the door to the latest innovations in digital pathology.
The upcoming second symposium, titled "Blueprint for Rapid DP & AI Integration in Preclinical Workflows“, digs deep into actionable strategies shaping the future of pathology.
Digital Pathology and AI are rapidly transforming preclinical workflows from experimental ideas into essential, daily tools for pathologists and researchers.
These advanced technologies enable precise and consistent analysis of large-scale histopathology data, accelerating decision-making. The result is streamlined workflows that fast-track drug development, reduce variability across studies, and drive more reliable, data-driven insights.
