In this episode of PathPulse: Pathology Innovators in Action, we were thrilled to welcome neuropathologist Margaret Flanagan, MD, talk with us about what is missing from digital pathology, highlighting spatial transcriptomics, multi-omics, and more. Margaret Flanagan, is an Associate Professor and Endowed Chair of the Baptist Health Foundation of San Antonio's Distinguished Chair in Alzheimer and Neurodegenerative Diseases. She was also just featured on The Pathologist's 2024 Power List as an Idol of Innovation! Her work focuses on understanding the mechanisms underlying dementia to advance diagnostic and therapeutic solutions.

Currently, Dr. Flanagan serves as Neuropathology Core Co-Leader for the South Texas ADRC, Co-Director of the Biggs Institute Brain Bank, and Director of the Nun Study on Aging and Alzheimer’s Disease. Her multidisciplinary laboratory integrates molecular platforms, biomarker development, biostatistics, and epidemiology to explore dementia mechanisms and develop biomarkers for early neurodegeneration detection. She is also a founding member of the National Digital Pathology Working Group and leads a 24+ month webinar series in collaboration with the National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Center.
