Histology is the place where anatomy, biology, chemistry, art, and science all converge. In this department, tissue specimens are prepared onto glass slides for pathologists to examine for cellular alterations and abnormalities in order to diagnose disease. If you are looking into getting your foot in the door of anatomic pathology, this is the role for you. The Lab Assistant position performs whole slide imaging on state-of-the-art machinery, assists pathology technicians, and works mostly independently while still being part of a large team. Histology is a fast-paced, quality-driven environment that promotes growth and education.
