In this episode, I sit down with three leaders shaping the future of pathology and AI in medicine at the University of Pittsburgh:

• Dr. Liron Pantanowitz, Chair of the Department of Pathology
• Dr. Hooman H. Rashidi, Associate Dean of AI in Medicine
• Dr. Matthew Hanna, Vice Chair of Pathology Informatics

We talk about how a major academic institution integrates AI into pathology workflows, builds data infrastructure, fosters innovation, and brings new technologies to life. It’s a masterclass in leadership, collaboration, and impact.

Key Highlights

• What it takes to build AI infrastructure and strategy in academic pathology
• The intersection of research, clinical service, and education in AI
• How diverse leadership roles align to drive innovation
• Collaborations with computer science, engineering, and bioinformatics
• Regulatory and practical challenges in deploying pathology AI
• Why team-based efforts are critical for scaling digital transformation
• Institutional culture and mindset around embracing AI
