WELCOME
We are thrilled to extend an invitation to the 17th Bryan Warren School of Pathology, set for the 23rd and 24th of November, 2024. This year, we have the privilege of organizing this symposium in collaboration with the British Division of the International Academy of Pathology (BDIAP) and the Association of Basic Medical Sciences of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In keeping with the evolving nature of academic gatherings, we will host this event as a hybrid format, welcoming both in-person attendance and virtual participation.
Our theme for this edition is Lung and Mediastinal Pathology. We are honored to have Dr. Michael A. den Bakker and Dr. Jan von der Thusen, both renowned Consultant Histopathologists, as our keynote speakers. They will delve into the critical updates and practical approaches in Lung and Mediastinal Pathology, providing invaluable knowledge and insights.
We aim to create a stimulating educational environment that will foster the development of young specialists, pathology residents, and clinicians alike. Join us for what promises to be an enriching and insightful academic journey.
