About us
The EXPA research group brings together the clinical-pathological expertise of Prof. Ramses Forsyth and the more fundamental histopathologically oriented expertise of Prof. Peter in't Veld, thereby restoring the traditional interaction between a clinical UZ department and the Faculty in this (translational) biomedical research important domain. It will serve not only as a core facility for histopathology, but also as a platform for developing more clinically oriented testing for the benefit of translational research.
