Research Interest

My research interests revolve around experimental pathology. I am interested in new scientific developments in the perspective of their clinical application. Although oncology is an important part of my practice, I am also interested in other applications of pathology: tissue bank, comparative pathology, teaching, virtual microscopy, TMA construction, immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, analysis images, sequencing new generations etc. I like new ideas and potential applications of pathology in connection with other methods of investigation. I see my role as a catalyst and a facilitator.
