In December 2014, the world’s largest biotech company, Roche Diagnostics, acquired all products associated with U-spinout AvanSci Bio’s microdissection technologies. This transaction includes its Millisect™ instrument, a device for removing tissue samples from microscope slides, along with all of its associated instrumentation, software, and consumable resources. Katherine Geiersbach, M.D., assistant professor of pathology, developed the original technology behind Millisect™ at the U. While working in molecular oncology, Geiersbach became frustrated by the need for a device that could be more precise than scraping slides by hand. With applications in clinical and research pathology as well as histology laboratories, the technology’s primary use is to bolster precision in genetic testing for cancer mutations.
