Sidney Ocanagil-Tunstall, Marketing Director at Pathology News, returns for episode 2 joined by leaders from the European Society of Digital and Integrated Pathology – Norman Zerbe, Vincenzo L'imperio, and Inti Zlobec – to explore what’s ahead for ECDP 2026 and the major themes shaping this year’s congress.The discussion highlights how ECDP is evolving beyond a traditional pathology meeting into a full “Digital and Computational Pathology Week”, with hands-on workshops, interoperability showcases, AI-focused sessions, and multidisciplinary collaboration at its core. The panel explores the growing role of integrative pathology across oncology, radiology, spatial biology, and computational diagnostics, while also reflecting on the importance of standardisation, education, and global community building.From practical implementation challenges to future-facing innovation, the episode captures how ECDP is creating a collaborative space where pathologists, researchers, technicians, clinicians, and industry leaders can connect, learn, and help shape the future of digital pathology together.
