Message From ASDP President

Dear colleagues and friends,

I am happy to announce that the 2^nd Annual Congress of the Asian Society of Digital Pathology (ASDP) will be held in Mumbai, India, from October 10^th to 12^th, 2025.

ASDP is a nonprofit and academic organization which was officially established in February 2024, and since then, we have been actively working to bring digital pathology innovation across Asia. Although we are still a young society, we have been growing steadily with tremendous support and high expectations from across the region.

Our first Annual Congress was held in October 2024 in Seoul, where we welcomed over 400 participants from 29 countries, achieving great success. This society is for you, our colleagues in the field of pathology across Asia, and together we will continue to build a strong network of outstanding professionals and researchers, fostering collaboration and leadership in the global field of digital pathology.

Unlike Western-based societies, ASDP aims to create a platform where Asian pathologists, computer scientists, technicians, researchers, young fellows, students interested in digital pathology, and other professionals can connect, collaborate, and drive innovation. Asia is home to immense diversity -culturally, medically, and technologically. This diversity fuels unique digital solutions and emerging needs, positioning our region at the forefront of global innovation. We strongly believe that this will serve as a foundation for pioneering advancements in digital pathology, shaping the future of the field worldwide.

Traditionally, participating in Western-based societies has not provided sufficient opportunities to build a robust professional network among Asia’s top experts, nor has it effectively delivered essential information and valuable resources to people across the region. With the continued growth of ASDP, we are making this possible, ensuring that knowledge and innovation are widely accessible throughout Asia.

Our mission is to promote the widespread adoption of digital pathology (DP) and Artificial Intelligence technologies, to standardize practices across the region, and to serve as a dynamic gateway for academic and industry partners seeking to engage with Asia’s vibrant healthcare sector.

We look forward to ASDP 2025 in Mumbai! Let us make this a fruitful and inspiring conference together.

Sincerely,
