Pathology, a fundamental discipline that bridges basic scientific discovery to the clinic, is integral to successful drug development. Intrinsically multimodal and multidimensional, anatomic pathology continues to be empowered by advancements in molecular and digital technologies enabling the spatial tissue detection of biomolecules such as genes, transcripts, and proteins. Over the past two decades, breakthroughs in spatial molecular biology technologies and advancements in automation and digitization of laboratory processes have enabled the implementation of higher throughput assays and the generation of extensive molecular data sets from tissue sections in biopharmaceutical research and development research units.
