About the Podcast
PathPulse is the digital pathology podcast for pathologists, lab directors, and healthcare leaders who want practical, real-world insight into how digital diagnostics is transforming the field — not theoretical promises, but honest conversations with the people actually doing it.
Hosted primarily by Lumea CEO James Thackeray and CMO Bianca Collings, PathPulse brings together the most compelling voices in digital pathology: practicing pathologists navigating full digital transitions at major academic medical centers, lab directors who have scaled digital workflows across hundreds of locations, AI developers building the next generation of diagnostic tools, and the innovators pushing the boundaries of what pathology can become.
Past guests include Dr. Liron Pantanowitz, Chair of Pathology at UPMC and past president of the Digital Pathology Association; Dr. Syed Hoda, Director of Digital Pathology at NYU Langone; Dr. Todd Randolph, co-founder of StarPath; Dr. Matthew Cecchini, Top 100 Trailblazer recognized by The Pathologist; and Dr. Kamran Mirza, Professor of Pathology at the University of Michigan. Each episode runs 25-35 minutes and covers a single focused topic — implementation strategy, AI adoption, change management, subspecialty workflows, pathology education, and more.
If you are evaluating digital pathology for your practice, considering an AI integration, or simply trying to stay current in a field that is moving fast, PathPulse is where the real conversation is happening.
