Welcome Message From President of ICPALM 2025
I am proud to say ICPALM 2025 was a culmination of intense collaborative effort among many groups and individuals and we are delighted to reunite our pathology family, clinical and scientific colleagues, our medical consultants, and affiliates after two years of being away. For this year we are excited to report attendees from various countries all over the world. This conference is also graced and supported by numbers of sponsors and exhibitors stemming from various companies and stakeholders from all over Malaysia and abroad.
