Published work
From clinical questions to published scholarship.
This section separates peer-reviewed journal work, published meeting abstracts and educational scholarly contributions so the record is clear and academically accurate.
The former page listed the 2019 AJCP meeting abstract under “peer-reviewed publications.” It is presented here as a published meeting abstract, consistent with the journal’s issue classification.

Digital pathology & educational research
Studying not only disease—but how pathology is practiced and learned.
Several projects anticipated themes that later became central to Dr. Gupta’s educational work: digital images, mobile tools, workflow design and visual learning.
Diagnostic decision-making tools to improve digital pathology workflow
Poster presentation by Sonawane S and Gupta A at Pathology Visions 2023, Orlando, Florida.
Conference listing ↗Redefining pathology education through Surgical Pathology Reimagined
Poster presentation by Gupta A and Sonawane S examining an integrated educational model connecting pathology content with digital learning.
Conference listing ↗How well does your phone take microscopic pictures?
Comparative analysis of Samsung Galaxy S6, iPhone 6 and a conventional microscope camera in dermatopathology.
“SOS IHC” — an immunohistochemistry application
Presentation of a mobile immunohistochemistry application designed for Apple and Android devices.
