In toxicologic pathology this foundational role extends to the assessment of the safety of a drug, compound, device or vaccine. The pathologist identifies, characterizes and manages risk versus benefit.

Pathology
Pathologists provide a foundational role in exploring the causes and effects of a disease using samples of body tissues or fluids.

What's the difference between anatomic & clinical pathology?
Anatomic Pathology
- Analytic evaluations conducted on samples collected from humans and necropsied animals
- Tissue examination
- Nonclinical studies (GLP & non-GLP); only evaluation that will not be repeated in clinical studies
- Single endpoint
Clinical Pathology
- Analytic evaluations conducted on samples collected from living humans and animals
- Fluid examination
- Nonclinical or clinical study (see clinical testing services)
- Multiple collections possible during a study (depending on species)
You might also be interested in anatomic & clinical trial pathology for clinical trial testing.
