CLIRPath-AI Conference 2025

CLIRPath-AI: A roadmap for AI-based spectral pathology

As we come to the end of the EPSRC Healthcare Technologies NetworkPlus grant, we are bringing together clinicians, pathologists, spectroscopists and AI experts to take stock of the current state-of-the-art of spectral pathology within the UK. We want to involve as many stakeholders as possible, particularly those who have taken an active role in making this NetworkPlus a success. We will hear presentations on the outcomes of the pump-priming projects, and we will also hear about other research in this area from home and abroad.

We welcome participation from people new to the network who would like to help shape how the UK effort in spectral pathology can move to the next stage. We are particularly excited about the prospects of accelerating translation of this technology into the clinic for the benefit of patients. With this aim we invite all interested parties to develop a roadmap for the UK which can help inform funding bodies and government.
