Cellular pathology

The cellular pathology department provides a comprehensive service in general histopathology, neuropathology, paediatric and perinatal pathology and diagnostic cytopathology. Included in the department are the mortuary and the biomedical imaging unit.

The department is integrated with the University of Southampton's department of pathology which has a major role in medical student education, and has active research programs in both applied and basic experimental pathology. The department has an important role in the training of junior histopathologists and biomedical scientists. The department is a major referral centre and the consultant pathologists each specialise in one or more area of pathology. Regional departments of paediatric and perinatal pathology and neuropathology are based in the department. The laboratory is recognised by the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS) for training.
