Our Pathology Team – Precision Medicine with Human Insight

Behind every innovation at Caris is a team of pathologists who never forget the human side of science. Our 31 board-certified anatomic and clinical pathologists combine deep subspecialty expertise with advanced AI and digital pathology to bring clarity to complexity and confidence to patient care.
Pathologists are the clinical and molecular translators of patient care. We provide physician-to- physician consultation for our ordering providers. From resolving diagnostic uncertainty to integrating tissue and blood profiling, our team ensures that precision medicine is more than a process, it is a partnership.
At Caris, pathology is not a checkpoint, it is the cornerstone of precision medicine. Our specialized pathologists bring deep expertise to ensure every result is grounded in diagnostic accuracy and clinical context, transforming molecular data into actionable insights for patient care.”

Caris Assure® is a minimally invasive blood test that utilizes circulating Nucleic Acid Sequencing (cNAS) to analyze cell-free DNA and RNA from plasma, plus genomic DNA and messenger RNA from circulating white blood cells (WBCs), to distinguish somatic tumor, incidental clonal hematopoiesis (CH) and incidental germline variants.
MI Profile® comprehensive testing delivers Whole Exome Sequencing (WES – DNA) and Whole Transcriptome Sequencing (WTS – RNA) for 23,000+ genes, as well as protein analysis and AI-predictive algorithms. MI Profile is designed to reveal a complete molecular blueprint that can guide more precise and individualized treatment decisions and help improve patient outcomes.
