Episodes
What if the biggest breakthrough in pathology AI isn’t a new algorithm—but finally sharing the data we already have?
In this episode, I’m joined by Jeroen van der Laak and Julie Boisclair from the IMI BigPicture consortium, a European public-private initiative building one of the world’s largest digital pathology image repositories. The goal isn’t to create a single AI model—but to enable thousands by making high-quali...
What if the biggest transformation in digital pathology this year had nothing to do with new hardware—and everything to do with how we think about value, workflow, and readiness?
In this year-end recap livestream from the 11th Digital Pathology & AI Congress in London, I break down what truly mattered in 2025. Instead of focusing on buzzwords or hype cycles, this episode highlights the practical advances shaping di...
Have you ever thought, “Digital pathology sounds amazing, but without a scanner, what’s the point of learning it now?”
If so, this episode will change how you see your role in the future of pathology.
In this talk, I challenge one of the most persistent myths in our field: the belief that you need expensive hardware before you can begin your digital pathology journey. Through personal experience and the remarkable...
What happens when AI becomes powerful enough to diagnose—not just one disease, but entire fields of medicine at once?
In this episode of DigiPath Digest #33, I break down four new PubMed abstracts shaping the future of digital pathology, clinical AI integration, federated learning, and multidisciplinary cancer care. Across every study, one message is clear: AI is accelerating, but human oversight defines its safe...
Why does it take three years to deploy a digital pathology tool that only took three weeks to build? That’s the reality no one talks about—but every lab feels every time they deploy a new tool...
In this episode, I sit down with Andrew Janowczyk, Assistant Professor at Emory University and one of the leading voices in computational pathology, to unpack the practical, messy, real-world truth behind deploying, validating...
Why are billions of people still invisible in genomic research—and what does that mean for the future of precision medicine?
In this episode, I sit down with Victor Angel Mosti, founder and CEO of Omica.Ai, for one of the most insightful conversations I’ve recorded about data equity and building ethical, community-centered AI.
Victor shares not only his personal cancer story but also the staggering truth: Hispanic and L...
How far can AI go in helping us diagnose disease—without losing the human judgment patients rely on?
In this episode, I break down four studies shaping the future of digital pathology, oncology, and neurology. From spatial biology updates at SITC to voice-based Alzheimer’s detection, deep learning for sarcoma prognosis, and new guidelines for safe AI deployment, this week’s digest highlights where AI is making a real i...
If your pathology reports and other data could talk, what would they say about the future of precision medicine? The truth is, most labs already have the data—they’re just not having a conversation with it.
In this episode, I talk with Peter O’Toole, President and Chief Software Architect at mTuitive. We recorded live at Pathology Visions and are covering the power of structured data and how it’s redefining the future ...
Is your lab truly digitally ready—or just scanning slides?
That’s the question I unpack in this live discussion from Day 2 of SITC’s 40th Anniversary Meeting, joined by David Anderson (Biocare Medical) and Don Ariyakumar (Hamamatsu Photonics).
Together, we explore what digital readiness really means for multiplex immunofluorescence (mIF) and how to build reliable, reproducible workflows that scale from research to clin...
Can spatial biology and multiplex immunofluorescence truly transform how we understand cancer?
I went live from the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) 2025 — the 40th Anniversary Meeting to explore how spatial biology, multiplex IF, and digital pathology are coming together to redefine cancer diagnostics, research, and precision medicine.
This session kicked off a weekend of cutting-edge discussions with leaders...
Can one AI system learn from every organ — and teach us something new about all of them?
In this edition of DigiPath Digest #31, I explore how artificial intelligence is transforming pathology across multiple organ systems, revealing connections that help us diagnose faster, more consistently, and more accurately than ever before.
From glomerulonephritis to hepatocellular carcinoma, AI is no longer confined to a single ...
If artificial intelligence can match—or even surpass—our diagnostic accuracy, what happens to the role of the pathologist?
That’s the question I explore in this episode of DigiPath Digest #30, where I break down three fascinating papers showing how AI is changing the way we diagnose, classify, and predict outcomes in renal transplant biopsies, thyroid cytology, and gastrointestinal cancers.
These studies don’t just prov...
Why do some pathologists still hesitate to trust digital slides—even after the FDA says “yes”? Because accuracy in digital pathology isn’t just about pixels—it’s about precision, validation, and confidence.
In this episode, I talk with Dr. Keith Wharton, MD, PhD, Global Medical Director at Roche Diagnostics, about how the Roche Digital Pathology DX system earned its FDA clearance for primary diagnosis—and what that mea...
Live from Pathology Visions 2025 in San Diego, I share highlights from Day 2 of the world’s leading digital pathology conference, where experts explored how AI, empathy, and training are shaping the next generation of pathologists.
This episode captures the shift from technology as a tool to technology as a bridge — helping us connect with patients in more meaningful ways.
What I Talk About
1️⃣ From Pixels to Patients
Live from Pathology Visions 2025 in beautiful San Diego, I sat down with Imogen Fitt from Signify Research to explore how AI, digital pathology, and interoperability are transforming the way we diagnose cancer and deliver patient care.
The conference theme, “From Pixels to Patients,” perfectly captures this year’s shift — from theoretical discussions about AI to real-world implementation and measurable outcomes.
We’re n...
Will AI make doctors and specialists less skilled—or even replace them?
That’s the question I explore in this episode of DigiPath Digest #29. As someone working where AI meets digital pathology, I’m both excited and cautious about how automation shapes our skills and professional identity.
In this episode, I discuss two studies that ask tough questions about AI, expertise, and the future of medicine.

What if climbing the digital pathology “mountain” isn’t about reaching the summit alone—but knowing where base camp is, and who you bring with you?
In this episode, I take you inside the Digital Diagnostic Summit in Park City, hosted by Lumea, where fewer than 100 digital pathology leaders gathered to share their journeys, challenges, and solutions.
From resilient metaphors of Everest climbs to practical strategies for...
What if up to 35% of the diagnostic color data on your pathology slides never reaches your eyes—just because of your monitor? In this episode, sponsored by Barco, I sit down with Dr. Monika Lamba Saini (ADC Therapeutics) and Tom Kimpe (Barco) to uncover why color calibration in digital pathology isn’t optional anymore—it’s critical for diagnosis, efficiency, and AI readiness.
Highlights:
- [00:03:42] Monika’s pat...
7 Counterintuitive Secrets from NCCN’s 2025 AI in Cancer Care Summit

Instead of hype or overpromising, cancer care leaders shared honest strategies for implementing A...
What if the way we quantify pathology is more guesswork than science? In this episode of DigiPath Digest, I take you through the latest research where AI is not just supporting but challenging traditional methods of image analysis in neuropathology, nephrology, hematology, and cytology. From Boston brain banks to Mayo Clinic kidney models, we look at how advanced AI compares to human vision—and where it already outper...
