Welcome to Pathology Update 2018 - A Bridge to the Future

On behalf of the College Council, Pathology Update 2018 Overseeing Committee and the eight Scientific Program Committees, it is with great pleasure that we welcome you back to the International Convention Centre, Sydney (ICCS) for Pathology Update 2018.

Pathology Update 2018 will feature twelve extraordinary international speakers who are leaders in their fields and a contingent of over 140 local Australasian speakers. We would like to thank our international and local all of our speakers for the time and effort involved in preparing their presentations.

We also thank the Chairs and Members of the Scientific Program committees who have worked long and hard to develop the scientific programs and to provide something for everyone. Pathology Update is the only Australasian multi-disciplinary pathology scientific meeting and as a delegate you can attend any scientific stream.

As well as enjoying the scientific sessions, please make the most of this opportunity to meet with colleagues and share stories from areas of interest. We invite all delegates to our Welcome Cocktail Party on the Friday evening and also hope you will join us on Saturday evening where we celebrate new College Fellows and Award Winners.

A special thank you to all our Sponsors and Exhibitors, and we gratefully acknowledge the valuable contribution from the Major and Supporting Partners. We warmly welcome those who are with us for the first time and a very sincere thank you to all those who continue to support us year after year by their presence and financial contribution to this conference.

This meeting could not take place without continued financial support and we ask you to acknowledge the invaluable input of the sponsors and exhibitors by visiting each of the exhibition booths during your time at the conference.

Education is the prime function of the College and this ceremony marks the culmination of years of training for both the new pathologists, scientists and their mentors. We would encourage as many Fellows as possible to attend the DS Nelson and QAP Oral Presentations at and the RCPA Annual Admission and Awards Ceremony for the presentation of their Fellowship.

Dr Volkan Adsay will present in the Anatomical Pathology scientific stream.

Dr Patrick BossuytDr Patrick Bossuyt is the professor of Clinical Epidemiology at the University of Amsterdam. He studies the effectiveness of clinical interventions and helps translating study results to recommendations for practice. Dr Bossuyt leads the Biomarker and Test Evaluation Research program in Amsterdam. The BiTE Program aims to appraise and develop methods for evaluating medical tests and biomarkers, and to apply these methods in relevant clinical studies. In doing so, the program wants to strengthen the evidence-base for rational decision - making about the use of tests and test strategies in health care. Dr Bossuyt spearheaded the STARD initiative for the improved reporting of diagnostic test accuracy studies. Dr Bossuyt has authored and co-authored several hundred publications in peer reviewed journals and serves on the editorial board of several of these, including Radiology and Clinical Chemistry. He chairs the Scientific Advisory Committee of the Dutch Health Insurance Board, overseeing the national health care benefits package.

Dr Patrick Bossuyt will present in the Chemical Pathology scientific stream.


Prof Matthew CollinProf Matthew Collin is Professor of Haematology at Newcastle University and Director of the Northern Centre for Bone Marrow Transplantation at Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals. His work is dedicated to the analysis of human dendritic cells and macrophages in vivo through the Human Dendritic Cell Lab founded in 2008 at Newcastle University. His work was among the first to separate human dendritic cells and macrophages from tissues and to demonstrate the longevity and monocyte-independence of tissue macrophage populations. With Florent Ginhoux at A*STAR Singapore, work in the Human DC Lab was instrumental in defining mouse-human parallels in the dendritic cell system including identification of the human tissue equivalent of mouse CD8+ cDC1 and mapping of the CD14+ dermal cell to a monocyte-macrophage lineage. More recently he was among several investigators who independently identified heterozygous GATA2 mutation as the cause of a novel syndrome of mononuclear cell deficiency leading to myelodysplasia and acute myeloid leukaemia. GATA2 and IRF8 mutation have been identified as genetic causes of dendritic cell deficiency, defining a new category of human primary immunodeficiency. His work also includes studies of histiocytosis using somatic mutation to track the clonal origin of Langerhans cell histiocytosis and Erdheim Chester disease and exploitation of monocyte-derived cells as potential therapeutic targets in graft versus host disease. Studies from the Human DC Lab are published in the New England Journal of Medicine, Immunity, J Exp Med, Blood and British Journal of Haematology. Matthew is a member of the American Society of Hematology, British Society for Haematology, Fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists and Member of the Royal College of Physicians of the UK.

Prof Matthew Collin will present in the Haematology scientific stream.

Dr Howard JacobDr Howard Jacob is a Faculty Investigator and Executive Vice President for Genomic Medicine at the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology. Dr Jacob uses molecular genetics to understand complex, multifactorial disease. His passion for improving the lives of critically ill patients has been the catalyst for his determination to bring whole genome sequencing into a clinical setting. Dr. Jacob received his PhD in pharmacology from the University of Iowa in 1989. He completed two parallel postdoctoral fellowships in functional genomics and molecular genetics and genomics at Harvard, Stanford and MIT. He was on the faculty at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School before moving to the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. Dr. Jacob was the founding director of the Human and Molecular Genetics Center as well as the Warren P. Knowles Chair of Genetics and a professor in the departments of physiology and pediatrics at MCW, positions he held for nearly 20 years. He joined the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology in 2015. In his role as Executive Vice President for Genomic Medicine at the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology, Jacob leads the clinical genomics team at HudsonAlpha and is heavily involved in its two clinical enterprises - the Smith Family Clinic for Genomic Medicine and the Clinical Services Lab. The Smith Family Clinic is believed to be the world’s first stand-alone genomic medicine clinic devoted exclusively to the use of whole genome sequencing for the diagnosis of rare undiagnosed and misdiagnosed disease. The Clinical Services Lab offers CAP/CLIA whole genome sequencing and interpretation. Jacob also runs a research lab at HudsonAlpha. His research focus is verification of specific changes to DNA that are disease causing, and pinpointing those genetic changes quickly enough to benefit patients.
