Soufiane Z. Azdad
Becoming a pathologist was the last thing Soufiane expected – but, after much convincing from a friend, he took the chance… and found his true calling. Today, he is a passionate advocate for technology in pathology. Among other things, he assisted in the design and manufacture of a new macroscopic examination device inspired by his first-ever day in the lab. “I was shocked to discover that the macroscopic examination was done in one shot [and] the specimen ended up fragmented in a bucket of formalin,” he says. “I spent long nights thinking about how to resolve that problem.”
