BIOSKETCH
Erio Barale-Thomas graduated from the Veterinary School of Lyon, France, in 1989 and holds
a national degree in toxicologic pathology. He then joined the CRO branch of CRL close to
Lyon, and later Bayer CropScience near to Nice, France. Since 2003 he works for Janssen
Pharmaceutica in Beerse, Belgium.
    Throughout his career he was interested in special stains (especially immunohistochem-
istry, immunofluorescence and electron microscopy) and special techniques, and in mentor-
ing young colleagues undergoing their veterinary pathology residency.
    He currently leads the digital pathology efforts in the pathology department, for both the
infrastructure/platform and the scientific applications; he also liaises with IT (for optimizing
platform design) and other scientific departments/therapeutic areas (for synergy in bringing
tools on the platform).
    He is also a strong advocate of cooperation among international toxicologic pathology
societies and is very involved in the interaction with regulatory bodies. He is a former presi-
dent of the French Society of Toxicologic Pathology and an active member of the European
and North American STP.
