The Way Forward​

Technical University of Munich

Katja Steiger, DVM, Head of Comparative Experimental Pathology at Technical University of Munich, and Atsuko Kasajima MD, PhD, share their experience building a large facility for comparative experimental pathology. This facility handles animal pathology for translational research and compares findings with human diseases.

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated their transition to digital pathology, enabling remote diagnoses. They chose Leica Biosystems for their reliable and prompt support, existing collaboration, and robust Aperio GT 450 digital pathology slide scanner, which effectively handles high workloads and facilitates digital pathology.

The digital approach has proven beneficial for consulting on small specimens, saving time, costs, and tissues, and allowing simultaneous collaboration with multiple colleagues. Their positive experience led them to purchase additional digital scanners and systems from Leica Biosystems, appreciating the company's consultative approach to meeting their specific needs.
