Mission

To provide the highest quality pathology services and scientific evidence focused on the advancement of developments in the field of neuropathology.

Vision

As an academic pathology department, we aim to deliver a high degree of professionalism in clinicopathological diagnostic services and neuropathology research, utilizing comprehensive and innovative approaches and building departmental competence to meet the needs of patients, institutions, and society.

Our approach will involve taking full advantage of opportunities to advance both the science and practice of neuropathology through the Lab-specific and collaborative research, which hopefully will produce leading practitioners and researchers.

The new building: "Brain and Life" Innovation Hub (BIH). In April 2026, we began operations as the "Center for Human Brain Resource Initiative (ChBRI).
The freezer facility is equipped with 42 ultra-low temperature freezers and stores over 30,000 frozen brain samples for research purposes.
