About Us

Welcome to tissuepathology.com

This blog was started in 2007 to educate and inform the pathology and laboratory community about emerging technologies in pathology. Since its inception, we strive to provide relevant news items, product information and commentary on issues of relevance to healthcare and the practice of pathology and laboratory medicine with an emphasis on technology, advances in digital pathology, personalized medicine, Pathology 2.0, deep learning and research and development while keeping an ear to the ground for topics that fall “outside of the box”.
