The future of pathology with the ESDIP board and how to get involved with the organisation

Sidney Ocanagil-Tunstall, Marketing Director at Pathology News, returns for part 4 of the Pathology Bites series joined by ESDIP leaders Norman Zerbe, Vincenzo L’Imperio, and Inti Zlobec to explore the future of pathology and how professionals can become involved with the organisation and its growing international community.The discussion looks ahead at the next phase of digital and computational pathology, from the wider adoption of digital workflows and AI-powered biomarkers to the growing role of computational tools in therapeutic guidance and patient care. The panel also reflects on the importance of harmonisation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and real-world clinical implementation as the field continues to evolve.Alongside the future-facing conversation, the episode highlights how ESDIP is supporting the pathology community through education, global partnerships, accessible membership opportunities, and initiatives such as the ESDIP Academy. From residents and researchers to practicing pathologists and industry leaders, the discussion captures how the society is helping shape the future of pathology while creating opportunities for the next generation to get involved.
