A new modern workplace

The department is in the process of implementing digital histopathology reporting. We have a large on-site research laboratory, housing state-of-the-art equipment and technical expertise within the fields of digital and molecular pathology. Our new laboratory facilities have allowed us to bring the department's many research groups together providing excellent opportunities for collaborative research.

A particular interest in digital pathology, methods of image analysis, and/or molecular pathology would be welcome.
