The combining of the two organizations’ services effectively enables clinical centers to transition their stored samples into actionable digital data that informs additional, more advanced research via a single service offering. No other service offering on the market delivers this breadth of integrated services.

GRM CEO, Avner Schneur, states “Until today, a service gap existed in the market, requiring the pathology industry to stitch together a multi-vendor solution for the critical research and patient care work that they do every day.” Schneur goes on to state, “Today, by GRM and HistoWiz combining our assets and expertise, we deliver a single solution to our current and future shared clients, bringing heightened efficiencies to a collection of critical services.”
