P. Wesseling

P. Wesseling is a Professor of Neuropathology at the Department of Neuropathology, Faculty of Medicine, Heidelberg University, affiliated with the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ). As a leading contributor to the cIMPACT-NOW consortium, Wesseling plays a pivotal role in developing diagnostic criteria for central nervous system tumors.

Wesseling's research focuses on neuropathology and neuro-oncology, with particular expertise in glioma classification, molecular diagnostics of brain tumors, and CNS tumor taxonomy. The work contributes significantly to the World Health Organization's classification system for central nervous system tumors.

Recent publications demonstrate continued leadership in adapting diagnostic criteria for IDH- and H3-wildtype diffuse high-grade gliomas and posterior fossa ependymal tumors, reflecting ongoing contributions to standardizing neuropathological diagnosis.

As a key member of the cIMPACT-NOW consortium, Wesseling's work informs global standards for CNS tumor classification, bridging molecular findings with practical diagnostic approaches used by pathologists worldwide.
