About Us
The Genoa ImmunoPathology Center (GIPC) is a cutting-edge research institute in the heart of the University of Genoa - Department of Surgical Sciences and Integrated Diagnostics (DISC).
With a primary focus on gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, and transplant pathology, we specialize in the tissue-tethered analysis of neoplastic and non-neoplastic conditions, as well as native and transplant settings, to explore clinically relevant etiopathogenetic pathways and multifaceted cell-to-cell interactions directly on tissue samples via next-generation pathology techniques.
Our Work
We are committed to providing innovative research approaches to maximize clinically relevant projects.
To achieve this goal, we identify four foundation cores that characterize our work.
ImmunoPathology
At GIPC, immunopathology lies at the heart of our mission. We delve into the complexities of immune biology and cell-to-cell interactions directly on tissue samples, focusing on neoplastic, non-neoplastic, and transplant immunology. Through advanced techniques like multiplex immunohistochemistry, digital pathology, and molecular profiling, we pioneer innovations in understanding and addressing immune-based pathways.
Research &
Scientific Culture Dissemination
Beyond research, the GIPC serves as a hub for education and knowledge sharing. We actively contribute to the global scientific community through publications, collaborations, and conferences. Locally, we aim to inspire and engage by making cutting-edge science accessible to both professionals and the community at large, fostering an evidence-based culture of learning and curiosity.
Quality Assurance
We are committed to the highest standards of quality assurance in pathology and research. From rigorous validation of protocols to reproducibility in experimental designs, we ensure accuracy and reliability in every aspect of our work. This dedication supports robust and impactful discoveries while building trust in our exploratory findings.
Green Pathology
We believe in sustainability and environmental responsibility in medical research. Through "green pathology," we adopt eco-friendly practices in laboratory operations, minimize waste, and explore innovative ways to reduce our ecological footprint, demonstrating that groundbreaking science and environmental stewardship can go hand in hand.
