Message from the Australasian IAP President
Prof. Catriona McKenzie MBBS (Hons 1) Syd, FRCPA
On behalf of the Board and Executive of the Australasian Division of the International Academy of Pathology, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 50th Annual Scientific Meeting (2026) in Brisbane. We are delighted to welcome our invited international faculty Jerad Gardner, Puay Hoon Tan and Dina Tiniakos.
We are also honoured to feature John Nicholls as the Vincent McGovern Memorial Lecturer, together with masterclasses presented by Kimberley Oliver and Dina Tiniakos. The program showcases the depth of expertise within our region, with many Fellows contributing their knowledge across the companion clubs, courses and workshops.
The programme builds on our traditional companion club format while introducing new interactive short courses, workshops, meet-the-expert sessions, trainee boot camps and a spotlight session on pathology and social media. These additions reflect the increasing subspecialisation of pathology practice and our commitment to educational approaches that support contemporary adult learning. I trust the meeting will provide valuable learning as well as opportunities to connect with our wonderful pathology colleagues.
My sincere thanks go to the many Fellows and colleagues whose hard work has made this meeting possible and to our sponsors for their support.
I also encourage you to join us for the inaugural Richard Scolyer South Bank charity run, an opportunity to come together outside the meeting and support an important cause.
I look forwards to meeting with you all soon,
Warm Regards
Prof. Catriona McKenzie MBBS (Hons 1) Syd, FRCPA
Australasian IAP President
