Pathology—the study of disease through the examination of tissues and cells—is undergoing a technological transformation. New tools in imaging, computational analysis, and spatial biology now allow scientists to study how cells interact within the architecture of human tissue at unprecedented resolution. These advances are helping researchers better understand cancer, immune response, and other complex diseases while opening new pathways for diagnosis and treatment.

Join us for a talk with Dr. Lisa McGinnis, Director of Spatial and Digital Pathology in Research Pathology at Genentech, who will discuss how advances in technology are expanding the field of pathology and reshaping how scientists study disease.

This event is part of the San Mateo Public Library's San Mateo Celebrates! festival.
