    Pathology Bites: Improving NHS Turnaround Times Through the Source Bioscience and Sectra Partnership

    Following the recent collaboration between Source BioScience and Sectra, join us for this short Pathology News interview, where Sidney Ocanagil-Tunstall speaks with Klaudyna Johnston and Chris Scarisbrick about connecting pathology services and helping improve diagnostic turnaround times in the NHS. In the conversation, Chris explains how Sectra’s Image Exchange Portal is evolving beyond image sharing to support the transfer of cases and associated workflows between organisations. Klaudyna discusses how this connectivity could reduce administrative workload, minimise reliance on transporting glass slides and help hospitals access additional reporting capacity when they need it. Looking ahead, the interview explores how more connected pathology networks could support collaboration, access to specialist expertise and flexible responses to growing demand. The discussion also considers how external diagnostic partners can act as an extension of NHS laboratories, helping teams make better use of available capacity.

    Beyond Foundation Models: How Deciphex's CipherX Is Transforming Pathology AI

    In this episode, Sidney Ocanagil-Tunstall speaks with Dr Pierre Moulin, Chief Scientific Officer at Deciphex, following the company's recent announcement of CipherX, a new pathology AI engine designed to move beyond traditional foundation models and address a much broader range of diagnostic and research questions. Building on Deciphex's official launch of CipherX, Pierre challenges the industry's ongoing race towards bigger models and higher benchmark scores, questioning whether these advances are translating into meaningful improvements for pathologists and pharmaceutical researchers. He introduces the technology behind CipherX, explaining how its semantic layer transforms complex AI outputs into recognisable histopathological features, making results more interpretable, auditable and adaptable across different applications. The conversation explores how CipherX is already powering Deciphex's clinical diagnostic service, Diagnexia, and pharmaceutical research business, Patholytix, supporting diagnostic quality assurance, biomarker discovery and companion diagnostic development. Looking ahead, Pierre discusses the potential to accelerate AI development for a wider range of pathology questions, including rare diseases and complex diagnostic challenges, and why the future of computational pathology may depend less on building bigger models and more on making AI genuinely useful in clinical practice.

    Scaling Digital Pathology: AI-Powered Quality Control, Workflow Efficiency and Laboratory Automation | Part 2

    In Part 2 of the Pathology News Podcast, recorded at ECP 2026 in Stockholm, Nick Best continues his conversation with Dr. Orly Ardon, Director of Digital Pathology Operations at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and Chet Kondragunta, CEO of IraMatrix, to explore the practical implementation of AI-powered quality control in digital pathology. Orly shares how automated QC has transformed operations at Memorial Sloan Kettering, enabling the team to move from manually reviewing just 10–20% of scanned slides to quality checking every image without increasing staffing levels. Together, they discuss how automation can improve technician workflows, identify scanner and image quality issues, reduce storage costs and support more efficient, scalable digital pathology operations. Research Papers Discussed: Digital Slide Scanning at Scale: Comparison of Whole Slide Imaging Devices in a Clinical Setting (2025) Quality Management System in Clinical Digital Pathology Operations at a Tertiary Cancer Center (2023) Interobserver Variability Across Whole-Slide Imaging Systems (2026) Deployment of AI-Driven Automated Quality Control of Whole-Slide Images in a Large Tertiary Cancer Center (2026)

    AI-Powered Quality Control: The Next Step in Scaling Digital Pathology | Episode 1

    In this episode, Nick Best is joined by Dr. Orly Ardon, Director of Digital Pathology Operations at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and Chet Kondragunta, CEO of Aira Matrix, at ECP 2026 in Stockholm to explore the growing importance of image quality and automated quality control in digital pathology. Drawing on four published research papers, Orly shares insights from Memorial Sloan Kettering's experience of scanning over 11 million slides, discussing the challenges of maintaining consistent image quality as laboratories scale. Together, they explore the limitations of manual quality control, differences between whole-slide imaging systems, and how AI-driven automation can help standardise image assessment, reduce technician workloads and support more reliable clinical workflows. Research papers discussed in this episode: Digital Slide Scanning at Scale: Comparison of Whole Slide Imaging Devices in a Clinical Setting (2025) Quality Management System in Clinical Digital Pathology Operations at a Tertiary Cancer Center (2023) Interobserver Variability Across Whole-Slide Imaging Systems (2026) Deployment of AI-Driven Automated Quality Control of Whole-Slide Images in a Large Tertiary Cancer Center (2026) Stay tuned for Part 2, where the discussion turns to the practical implementation of automated QC and its impact on laboratory operations.

    From Research to Reality: Professor Nasir Rajpoot on AI in Clinical Pathology – Episode 3

    In this episode, Sidney Ocanagil-Tunstall is joined by Professor Nasir Rajpoot, Director of the Tissue Image Analytics (TIA) Centre at the University of Warwick, to explore a career that has developed alongside the evolution of digital and computational pathology. Nasir reflects on his journey from computer science and early image analysis to becoming one of the pioneers working with pathology images, sharing the challenges of building a field before whole slide imaging, large datasets and modern AI tools became widely available. He also discusses the early research and collaborations that helped build the computational pathology community and the landmark digital pathology validation work at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire, which helped accelerate adoption across the UK.
