Prof Richard Byers on How a Pathologist Thinks

In this episode, hosts David and Asanda are joined by Professor Richard Byers, a renowned histopathologist and consultant hematopathologist at Manchester Royal Infirmary. Professor Byers shares his impressive journey, from his PhD in molecular biology to his contributions to post-mortem imaging and pathology.

Professor Byers also explores the future of pathology, discussing the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in diagnostics. He envisions AI as a valuable triage tool to streamline workflow and improve diagnostic accuracy, but he believes pathologists will remain essential for complex cases and integrated diagnostic reports.
