Message from the President

The International Academy of Digital Pathology (IADP) is a non-profit organization formed by scientists, pathologists and academicians from around the globe with a mission of promoting the development of information technology to help pathologists in their clinical work, research activities, education, and quality assurance programs. Specifically the academy aims to (II) promote the standardization of digital pathology; (III) promote research, innovation, development and good practice of information and communication technologies in pathology; (IV) exchange information between research scientists and pathologists through establishment of digital pathology networks; and (V) provide education, research and development to enable the effective implementation of digital pathology in developing countries.

The academy will host its first international conference on August 3-5, 2011 in Quebec City, Canada. The conference will cover topics that are of interest to pathologists, biologists, researchers and information technology professionals (including software engineers, computer science researchers, and related biomedical informatics professionals).Mark your calendar for the Ist Congress of the International Academy of Digital Pathology and have the opportunity to learn the latest technology in digital pathology and network with people in the field.

IADP Conference

IADP Conference The International academy of Digital Pathology (IADP) is a new organization formed by scientists, pathologists and academicians from around the globe with a mission of promoting the development of information technology to help pathologists in their clinical work, research activities, education, and quality assurance programs. The academy will be holding its first international conference on August 3 – 5, 2011 in Quebec Canada, bringing together pathologists, biologists, researchers and information technology professionals (includind software engineers, computer science researchers, and related biomedical informatics professionals) from all over the world for a three – day program. The conference will cover pathology practices, new advances in digital pathology and its practical applications in patient care as well as in research.
