Why Choose Pathology Institute?
A Message from Our Laboratory Director
​
Mark Valasek, M.D., Ph.D.
A wide range of industries, institutions, and companies rely on pathology services and have utilized our experts including top pharma companies, early and mid stage biotech startup companies, university research groups, pathology labs, and gastroenterology practices.
Expert pathologists provide a window into crucial tissue-based information and can help interpret the massive amount of data obtained from tissue-based interrogations including clinical assays, biomarkers, and advanced microscopy.
With the advent of big data "-omics" platforms, there is an increasing need to sift through all of the data using pathology expertise coupled with artificial intelligence algorithms. My strong belief is that symbiotic programs utilizing both human
and artificial intelligence will be the most successful in identifying and developing new drugs, drug targets, and companion diagnostic biomarkers. In my opinion, wise program managers will consult expert pathologists early on in the process to help guide and shape studies to obtain the highest yield results. This is something we strive to do daily at Pathology Institute.
We look forward to partnering with you on your next project!

Best regards,
Mark
