Karol Zagórski, MD

About

I am a resident in anatomic pathology at the 4th Military Clinical Hospital in Wrocław and a research and teaching assistant at Wroclaw Medical University, where I teach pathology classes.

My research is in digital pathology: I study how well machine learning models can read molecular risk and prognosis from routine H&E slides, mainly in uveal melanoma, including comparisons of hybrid quantum-classical models with classical ones.

Interests

• Computational pathology: pathology foundation models, whole-slide image (WSI) analysis, risk stratification.
• Ophthalmic pathology: prognostic factors in uveal melanoma.

Teaching

I teach pathology classes for medical students at Wroclaw Medical University.
