As part of its ongoing outreach initiatives, the Phenomics Australia Histopathology & Slide Scanning Service recently hosted Sofia Ricardi, a second-year RMIT student, to undertake a 10-day work placement program.
This program offers students valuable hands-on experience and a strong foundation for future careers in laboratory settings. During her placement, Sofia gained exposure to all aspects of the Histopathology Service.
This placement program has a strong track record of success, just ask Aira Nuguid and Emily Gracie, who are now valued members of the Phenomics Australia Histopathology & Slide Scanning Service and were both former RMIT work placement students.
For more information on all our services, please contact Tina Cardamone at t.cardamone@unimelb.edu.au or visit their website:
Meet Aira and Emily and see where a placement can take you!

The Phenomics Australia Histopathology and Digital Slide Service provides necropsy and histopathology services to all biomedical researchers across Australia for evaluating or phenotyping modified, treated, experimental or genetically engineered mice at all developmental stages.
A team of experienced medical, veterinary pathologists and mouse pathobiologists determine whether morphological changes or pathology identified are strain-related, age-related, incidental or a true diversion from normal. The mouse strains are therefore validated and utilised as models of human disease.
The Histopathology and Digital Slide Service is based at the Department of Anatomy and Physiology at the University of Melbourne and is supported by the Federal Government through the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) initiative and by the University of Melbourne.
