It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the International Surgical Pathology Conference, held in partnership with the International Academy of Pathology (IAP) - Arab Division, taking place January 14 - 17, 2027, at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
We are meeting at an extraordinary time for our specialty. Surgical pathology is being reshaped by precision medicine, molecular and predictive diagnostics, digital pathology, and artificial intelligence - advances that are expanding our diagnostic reach and placing pathology at the centre of personalized care. Yet the discipline’s foundations - morphology, diagnostic judgment, and clinicopathologic correlation remain unchanged in their importance. Our vision for this conference is to bring these worlds together: the very best of traditional diagnostic pathology alongside the technologies defining its future.
