pathologist
Tissue analysis expert
A pathologist is a medical doctor who specializes in diagnosing disease by examining tissues, cells, and bodily fluids.
Pathologists analyze biopsies, perform autopsies, and run laboratory tests that other physicians rely on for diagnosis: The pathologist confirmed the tumor was benign.
Forensic pathologists determine cause of death in criminal investigations or unexplained deaths.
