Pathology Horizons is an annual open conference organised and sponsored by Cirdan on what lies ahead in Pathology.

The inaugural conference was 5-7 November 2015 on Fraser Island, Queensland, Australia. The objective is to give delegates the  chance to learn about the potential impacts and challenges of new diagnostic and informatics technologies on pathology. From the interactions and dialogue between the participants plus the excellent quality of presentations, those aims were well met  on Fraser Island.

If you are interested in attending the 2016 event, the dates are 15-17 September and it will be held in Galway, Ireland. Please email info@cirdan.com to pre-register your interest.
