    About the Event

    PathFinders is hosted by a consortium of leading diagnostic brands from India, and will be graced by some of the brightest minds in pathology and healthcare.

    Together, we are looking to push the conversation about laboratory, medicine and healthcare beyond its usual nations and specificity.

    We’re discussing some huge paradigm shifts in the industry: “Is digitisation all-permeating?”, “Is genomics really making the dent we’d hoped for in improving healthcare”-and many more path breaking questions and answers, this October.

    So get ready to connect with industry leaders and luminaries in this truly exclusive and cutting-edge event and share your ideas on the latest trends in diagnostic medicine.
