Department of Pathology

Overview

The department of Pathology started functioning with various activities including investigative services, teaching and training of undergraduates and postgraduates. Since then the department has progressed rapidly in terms of expansion in services, recruitment of capable faculty members, paramedical & supportive staff as well as installation of sophisticated and modern equipments.

The department has started a graduate research laboratory. In addition, range of various immunohistochemical stains which have been added now help in further making a more specific diagnosis. For better services a fully Automated Tissue Processor, a semi-automated microtome and a Cryostat have been added.
