Our anatomical pathologists examine biopsies and specimens of tissue and cells taken from patients to diagnose a wide variety of diseases, including cancer.
Our chemical pathologists play a unique dual role of medical scientist and doctor, studying changes in human body chemistry to diagnose disease and even detect illegal drug use.
Our microbiologists and virologists are critical to NSW public health and emergency responses to pathogen-borne disease, and their expertise is recognised world-wide.
This is the process that happens before and after specimens reach our labs for testing, providing vital links between pathology requests, diagnostic testing and results.
