The Virchow Pathological Institute in Germany, founded in 1856 at the Charité Hospital in Berlin, is named after its first director, Rudolf Virchow, who is considered one of the founders of modern pathology and is honored as the "Father of Cellular Pathology".

In 2015, the Sino-German Virchow Laboratory Group was established in Hong Kong and has since set up branches and central laboratories in Shanghai, Beijing, Hangzhou, Wuhan, and other locations. Led by Professor Manfred Dietel, the Chief Scientist, Member of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina, and Chairman of the German Society of Pathology, the Group boasts a remote pathological collaboration network with over a hundred pathologists from dozens of pathological academic institutions in Europe. It has also introduced the brand standards, management system, technical standards, and laboratory specifications of the Virchow Pathological Institute in Germany, aiming to establish an internationally leading center for histopathological and molecular pathological diagnosis, a Sino-German remote pathological consultation center, a training center, and a research and development center.

The Group focuses on diagnosis, treatment, research and development, scientific research, teaching, and industrial innovation in the field of intelligent pathology and precision medicine.

The Virchow team adheres to its consistent tradition, originating from Germany, establishing a foothold in China, and having a global perspective. They are committed to building the "Virchow Laboratory" into one of the internationally renowned pathology brands.
