AboutAbout the lab
Pathologists supporting diagnostic accuracy
The Hospital Clinical Research Group (Pathology Division) performs morphological diagnosis of all cells, tissues, and organs submitted from outpatient clinics, inpatient wards, and operating rooms at University of Tsukuba Hospital.
Pathologists and cytopathologists diagnose tiny tissue fragments obtained by endoscopy and liquid specimens such as pleural effusion, ascites, and sputum, and communicate the results to clinicians.
Together with the Diagnostic Radiology Division, the Pathology Division plays a role in keeping the hospital's diagnostic accuracy at a high level.
The Pathology Division's page introduces the Tsukuba Human Tissue Diagnosis Center for diagnostic services provided outside the hospital, and the Basic Research Support Division of the Tsukuba Human Tissue Biobank Center for research support.
