Research paper published on 17th November 2008 in the Journal of Pathology The generation of new models of human disease is accelerating rapidly due to the completion of whole-genome sequencing efforts and technological advances. This European Commission (EC)-funded PRIME pathology training initiative study by Warren et al. reveals that histopathological analysis in this field is being performed almost exclusively by highly qualified pathologists in clinical diagnostic posts on a non-contractual basis, often with little support or training in comparative pathology. The results indicate a lack of both trainees and provision of specialist training in this field, with the availability of diagnostic expertise and advice falling far short of the number of models being generated for analysis. This has lead to the worrying trend of “DIY”pathology and the inaccurate reporting of pathological data in scientific journals. The paper also discusses solutions for the future recruitment, training and funding for pathologists working in functional genomics in Europe.
The University of Cambridge Careers Service has prepared a series of interviews on ex University scientists who have secured interesting positions outside academic research.
