The Digital Pathology & AI Congress USA and American Spatial Biology Congress 2026
2026-05-07 - 2026-05-08 | Columbus, Ohio, Columbus, OH, United States
0000Days00Hrs00Min00SecOPEN LETTER:
ANIL PARWANI Professor of Pathology and Biomedical Informatics, Chair of Pathology Department, The Ohio State University
Dear Colleagues,
It is my great pleasure to offer my full support for the 12th Digital Pathology & AI Congress, co-located with the 3rd American Spatial Biology Congress, taking place on May 7–8, 2026 in Columbus, Ohio.
We are at a defining moment in the evolution of pathology. Digital pathology and artificial intelligence are no longer future concepts—they are actively reshaping how we diagnose disease, generate knowledge from tissues, and deliver precision medicine to patients. When combined with advances in spatial biology, these technologies provide unprecedented insight into tissue architecture, cellular interactions, and disease biology across scales.
At The Ohio State University, we have witnessed firsthand how digital pathology and AI can transform clinical workflows, enable computational discovery, and bridge research and patient care. From whole-slide imaging and AI-assisted diagnostics to spatial multi-omics and translational research, these tools are redefining what is possible in modern pathology. Importantly, their successful adoption depends not only on technological innovation, but also on collaboration, shared learning, and open dialogue across academia, healthcare, and industry.
This Congress brings together exactly that community. By uniting pathologists, scientists, clinicians, computational experts, and technology innovators, the meeting provides a vital forum to explore real-world implementation, regulatory considerations, and emerging scientific applications. The co-location of digital pathology and spatial biology is particularly timely, reflecting how closely these disciplines are converging to drive the next generation of precision diagnostics and therapeutics.
I am especially pleased that this meeting is being held in Columbus and in collaboration with The Ohio State University. It offers a unique opportunity to engage with leaders while showcasing how integrated digital and spatial approaches are being applied in both research and clinical settings.
I look forward to participating in the Congress and to delivering the keynote address, “Journey to Precision Pathology: The Role of Digital Pathology and AI.” I strongly encourage colleagues across pathology, biomedical research, and industry to join us for what promises to be an impactful and forward-looking event.
I hope to see you in Columbus in May 2026.

A Learning-Focused Summit on NHS Oncology
Cancer remains one of the NHS’s most complex and urgent challenges demanding faster diagnosis, more equitable access to treatment, and a workforce confident in delivering precision care. The 10 Year Health Plan places early detection, innovation and personalisation at the heart of future oncology services. This summit responds directly to that call, providing the education, skills and tools NHS professionals need to deliver cancer care that is proactive, personalised and closer to home.
Educational Focus:
Through a mix of Skill Clinics, Lessons Learned Sessions, and Peer Learning Circles, delegates will learn using real-world frameworks, tools, and templates to strengthen early detection pathways, expand genomic testing, and deliver community-based oncology care.
The focus is not on what to achieve, but how to achieve it. Senior leaders and clinicians will share first-hand insights on implementation challenges, course corrections and replicable improvement models that can be applied immediately within local systems.
Key Topics:

Expanding targeted screening, self-sampling and early detection initiatives.
Scaling genomic testing and AI-guided personalised oncology care.
Integrating innovative technologies; including liquid biopsies, cancer vaccines and whole genome sequencing
Redesigning oncology pathways to deliver diagnostics, rehabilitation and follow-up care within community settings.
Accelerating treatment through digital integration, data-driven coordination and insights from precision and immunotherapy trials.
