Pathomation today announced that Rudy Hovelinck will fill in the new position of Chief Operational Officer (COO). The expansion of the leadership team is necessary to sustain the growth of Pathomation and to keep pace with the fast adoption of digital pathology.

In his role as COO Rudy Hovelinck will lead all daily operations, his main goal will be to introduce Pathomation to all labs aspiring to adopt Digital Pathology solutions.

Rudy Hovelinck stated, ‘I have always been fascinated by the ability to visualize a biomarker in the context of histology. My first steps in science were to develop staining techniques for mRNA and fluorescent immunodetection. It has been fascinating to witness the evolution from time-consuming manual techniques in a few specialized labs to reliable automated techniques available to the global community. This great progress was shaped by the interaction of visionary pathologists and a keen industry, an exciting mix I found at the basis of Pathomation, with an ambitious team of pathologists and software experts.
