Ontology

HPATH

Histopathology Ontology

An ontology of histopathological morphologies used by pathologists to classify/categorise animal lesions observed histologically during regulatory toxicology studies. The ontology was developed using real data from over 6000 regulatory toxicology studies donated by 13 companies spanning nine species. The original structure of the histopathology ontology was designed ab initio when the [INHAND](http://www.goreni.org/) manuscripts were not available.
