Department Summary
The Department of Pathology is embedded within Genentech's Research and Early Development Organization (gRED) and works to ensure that strategies for the treatment and cure of disease are based on accurate analyses of pathogenetic mechanisms. In addition, the department is a key driver in Genentech's Digital Pathology efforts. The Department collaborates with and provides expert support to our therapeutic areas and research scientists in the discovery, characterization, and development of novel therapeutic products for a variety of human diseases. These include diseases caused by malignant transformation or dysfunction of the nervous or immune systems.
In the past few years Research Pathology has developed a Digital Pathology and spatial omics ecosystem in which emerging tissue-based technologies and cutting edge computational efforts are integrated to accelerate advances to biological insights and novel therapeutics.
Our spatial omics capabilities span a wide range of tissue-based platforms covering both single-cell proteomics and transcriptomics.
DPIA-SO (Digital Pathology Image Analysis-Spatial Omics) is a Research Pathology sub-team specializing in collaborative spatial omics computational analysis. Our mission is to provide scientists with actionable insights from high-dimensional imaging data by developing and leveraging transparent, reproducible and scalable spatial analysis methods and pipelines.
