Pathology has evolved from traditional observational practices to embrace molecular science, genomics, and digital technologies. Pioneers like Rudolf Virchow, who introduced cellular pathology, laid the groundwork for modern diagnostic medicine by linking health with social conditions. Following him, Sir Bernard Spilsbury revolutionized forensic pathology through meticulous autopsy procedures. The field now integrates advancements like AI and genomic sequencing, enabling rapid, precise disease detection and a stronger role in personalized medicine, aiming to improve global patient outcomes.
