Workshop: Histopathology

The finfish histopathology workshop is planned for the Sunday before the main conference begins. The workshop will start with the keynote speaker, Dr Jeff Wolf. The keynote presentation will be followed by a few talks by invited speakers who will each present a case study, including pathology and differential diagnoses. These presentations will focus on the “Gastrointestinal tract and accessory digestive organs” *. 

We are inviting Expressions of Interest from anyone attending (and registered for) the workshop for presentations on the theme chosen for this year’s workshop (*). The Expression of Interest should include a brief description of the case and one relevant picture as well as the name and affiliation of the presenter. Please email your Expression of Interest to heike.schmidt@unibe.ch and B.Nowak@utas.edu.au 

As we are planning to digitise all slides, we will need histology slides or blocks to be sent for processing by June, so once your presentation is approved you will have to post your slide(s) or the block(s) to Prof Heike Schmidt-Posthaus, and they will be returned to you at the workshop. We are hoping that these presentations will generate discussion.

In the last session we will be providing an opportunity for the participants to present images of pathology of unknown origin or unidentified structures. These presentations should still include background, but the focus should be on the unknown structure/feature and the talks are expected to be short (appr. 5 minutes). They will not be included in the final workshop materials. If you would like to give one of these short presentations, please also send a message to Barbara Nowak, so that we can plan the workshop structure and calculate the time needed.
