Pathology
We examine samples from patients using state-of-the-art methods to diagnose diseases safely and quickly and to enable individually tailored therapies.
Services
Molecular Diagnostics
With the help of state-of-the-art methods, we can make individual genes or genetic defects visible and search for disease causes as well as therapeutic targets.

Integrative and Digital Diagnostics
We are in constant contact with the other disciplines of the Lucerne School of Theragnostics and beyond. Reliable diagnostics are only possible when all the information is brought together.
Digital Pathology
Interdisciplinary Research
Doctors work closely with renowned basic pathology researchers to better understand and treat diseases.

Services
We examine patients’ samples using microscopy and molecular genetics techniques in order to provide the basis for optimal therapy planning with our diagnostics. Thanks to our close cooperation with the other clinics of the Department of Theragnostics and beyond, we are a central hub for highly specialized and academic medicine at the USB.
We have a highly specialized, interdisciplinary and translational research team. We try to better understand the mechanisms of disease development, in order to make more accurate diagnoses and identify targets for innovative therapeutic approaches. Cancers are an overarching focus of our research.
The term pathology comes from Greek and means the study of suffering. A central role in medical education and training is therefore an important part of our work. We are involved in interdisciplinary student training, as well as in numerous internal and external continuing education events, with a particular focus on the promotion of young talent.
