    Dear Friends,

    It is wonderful to know that CYTOCON2025 is happening at the prestigious Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER) in Puducherry, also known as the French Riviera of the East.    The scientific content is well-curated and includes a full day pre-conference CME and post-conference workshops on timely topics, along with prestigious oration, memorial lecture, guest lectures, and the IAC academy oration by National and International experts. There would be proffered papers and poster sessions providing a chance for researchers to showcase their original work, age notwithstanding. There would be awards, including for the best proffered paper and poster. This also provides a great networking opportunity, especially for the younger cytopathologists to influence and inspire others through their work and at the same time get inspired by their mentors, and more importantly, make collaborative efforts for their future professional endeavours. Dr N. Siddharaju, Dr Debasis Gochhait, and their team are striving towards making this another successful CYTOCON, keeping the legacy of CYTOCON.

    Come immerse yourself in the world of cytopathology in the tranquil surroundings, exploring its various dimensions and experiencing the pre- and post-colonial heritage of Puducherry. Wishing the best to the conference organizing team and looking forward to meeting and interacting with everyone who has a passion for cytopathology at the CYTCON2025.
