About Yuchun Ding

A trained computer scientist from Newcastle University, Ding works alongside pathologists to develop practical solutions in digital pathology. He is the creator of X-WOW!, which he set up to improve access to microscopy equipment for pathologists who work in remote areas. On his ambitions, Yuchun says, “One day I suddenly realized a cruel fact – my efforts are useless to those who can’t afford the equipment to produce whole-slide images for analysis. That’s why I created X-WOW! in my own time; I want to focus on making digital pathology easier to access for those who have been forgotten.”
