I think this years' program will be among the best line up of speakers, topics (including update from the FDA on their thoughts), exhibitors, posters and networking opportunities this meeting has had. The talks and meeting come at an important time for digital pathology including new vendors in the space, regulatory issues and new business models, all of which will be discussed.

2011 PATHOLOGY VISIONS CONFERENCE

OCT. 30 – NOV. 2, San Diego, CA

A distinguished field of 41 speakers will highlight the hot topics in the world of digital pathology at the 2011 Pathology Visions Conference. Telemedicine, neuropathology, and the image analysis of biomarkers are just some of the subjects experts will discuss at the 7th annual Digital Pathology Association Conference.

Telemedicine and Neuropathology

In the clinical arena, Clayton Wiley, M.D., Ph.D., will discuss inter-institutional and interstate tele-neuropathology. Dr. Wiley will share his knowledge on telemedicine and its emersion as an efficient means of distributing professional medical expertise to geographically dispersed sites. He’ll also share his expertise on neuropathology and why it’s well-suited to utilize telepathology.

Image Analysis of Biomarkers

Tony Magliocco, M.D., will highlight the development of quantitative microscopy methods as prognostic and predictive cancer biomarkers. The digital pathology research expert will discuss three emerging analytical methods that hold promise for routine diagnostic pathology, including fractal analysis, analysis of DAB stained ki67 tissues with a focus on breast cancer, and the use of multiplex fluorescent imaging to study "functional tissue dynamics."

Guest Discount

The Pathology Visions Conference is also offering a special discounted rate for conference guests. For a reduced registration fee, your spouse or special guest can attend all meals, take part in the Sunday evening welcome reception and enjoy all that San Diego has to offer.

"Access to sub-specialist pathologists using telepathology and image analysis of biomarkers are two of the strongest value propositions for why institutions adopt digital pathology," said Dirk Soenksen, President of the Digital Pathology Association and Chair of the Pathology Visions Program Committee. "Attendees at this year's conference will learn best practices for these and other applications of digital pathology, as well as how digital pathology can improve patient care and enable personalized medicine."

History Lesson

Did you know early pathologists started laying the groundwork for the digital pathology industry nearly a century and a half ago? Dr. Clive Taylor, M.D.,D. Phil., will give the audience a history lesson about the journey from microscopy to whole slide images. Dr. Taylor’s insight into how the past has shaped our industry will give attendees a firmer grasp on the important role they will play in the future of digital pathology.
