Mark R. Wick, MD is Professor of Pathology and Associate Director of Surgical Pathology at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville. He received his undergraduate education at Carroll University (Waukesha, WI), his medical degree at the University of Wisconsin (Madison, WI), and his anatomic and clinical pathology residency training at the Mayo Clinic and Mayo Foundation (Rochester, MN). He has served on the pathology faculties at the Mayo Medical School (Rochester, MN), the University of Minnesota (Minneapolis, MN) and Washington University (St Louis, MO), and has made contributions to the specialty of pathology as an investigator, practitioner, educator and mentor. Dr Wick is a physician who has continued to practice as a general anatomic pathologist and yet has developed expertise in several subspecialty areas of pathology. Immunohistochemistry, dermatopathology, thoracic pathology and soft tissue pathology are his particular interests.
'In the world of molecular biology, gene arrays, nanotechnology,
automated staining and novel imaging systems, it is heart-warming
to see the appearance of a book celebrating the survival of
diagnostic staining techniques in histochemistry. Overall this is a
very attractive book that deserves a place in every pathology
laboratory and medical library. There are few scientific
disciplines where art, aesthetics and science are so intimately
combined or have such impact despite their longevity. Where are the
aesthetics in a Western blot or a gel? Acta Histochemica
"Exactly what the title promises -- a comprehensive book on
diagnostic histochemistry...The purpose of this book is to educate
and/or remind pathologists of the clinical usefulness of
histochemistry. These are worthy objectives as histochemistry still
plays a major role in diagnostic pathology....The book is intended
for "young pathologists" (i.e., those in training). It would be
very useful, however, for "older pathologists" as a good refresher.
It would also appeal to experienced histotechnologists who perform
such stains and want further education as to why special stains are
still used. The editor and many of the chapter authors are
internationally recognized experts in diagnostic pathology....This
book is stunningly beautiful." --Doody's Review Service
