The program (a work in progress) can be viewed in the expandable sections at the bottom of this page. Session times are subject to change owing to the need to provide convenient presentation times for virtual speakers in USA and Europe / UK.
The EM Tutorial Day is designed for technical and scientific staff, and pathologists who wish to strengthen their knowledge in the field of ultrastructural pathology. UltraPath XXI delves deeper into the ultrastructural aspects of various diseases with presentations by world experts. Sessions devoted to renal, neuromuscular, heart, liver, pulmonary, cornea, platelets, infectious diseases, the analysis of cilia, and emerging concepts will be presented.
