Dr. Darren Treanor MB BSc (Computing) MD PhD is a Consultant Pathologist, honorary clinical Associate Professor at the University of Leeds, and Guest Professor in Digital Pathology at Linköping University, Sweden. He runs the Leeds Virtual Pathology Project which has been carrying out Digital Pathology research and development since 2003. He has co-authored over 60 papers in the medical and computing literature, most of them concerned with the application or development of Digital Pathology in clinical and preclinical research. He was the principal investigator at the UK National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) - a funded project entitled "A virtual reality microscope for pathology". This project studied current diagnostic and teaching practices in Pathology to inform the development of a better Digital Pathology workstation (the "Leeds Virtual Microscope") for diagnostic use, which has now been deployed across the Yorkshire region of the UK for Pathology training and successfully commercialized. He is the lead for the Royal College of Pathologists group writing guidelines on Digital Pathology, using evidence gathered by the Leeds Digital Pathology research group including the only systematic review of Digital Pathology in clinical diagnosis.
