Cellular and Molecular Pathology (CMP) Network Group

Tab Group

Overview

The CMP aims to personalise and improve treatments by enabling access to pathology resources and expertise in new biomarker-led studies.

Mission Statement

The Cellular and Molecular Pathology Network Group brings together molecular and cellular pathologists across the Network to establish where there are common issues for pathology services in our ECMCs, where local solutions may be rolled out nationally, where the ECMCs can tap into existing resources or where new ones are required.

Remit

The remit of the ECMC Cellular and Molecular Pathology Network Group is centred around the following four areas:

• Training the next generation of pathologists
• Optimising pathology sample quality for molecular analysis
• Supporting greater use of digital pathology
• Protecting research time for cellular and molecular pathologists
