Ventana Medical Systems, Inc., headquartered in Tucson, Arizona develops, manufactures, and markets instrumentation and reagents used to automate diagnostic procedures in clinical histology and research laboratories. In addition, Ventana has recently entered the exciting new field of genomics, assisting in the identification of genetic pathways to the treatment of disease.

Ventana's clinical systems are important tools used in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Ventana's drug discovery systems are used to accelerate the discovery of new drug targets and evaluate the safety of new drug compounds. Ventana is the world leader in automated immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization (ISH) with over 1,000 systems installed in laboratories around the world - more than four times as many systems as all others combined.

Founded in 1987 by Dr. Thomas Grogan, a pathologist at the University of Arizona Medical Center, the company is dedicated to providing advanced systems for performing complex and sophisticated IHC and ISH procedures. These systems benefit patients and laboratories by providing a more reliable test in a much shorter time than current manual methods. As a result, pathologists can make their diagnoses more rapidly and patients can begin treatment sooner.

Ventana serves laboratories in Europe, Japan and other countries around the world. In the future, we will focus on building on our past achievements, strengthening our organization to rapidly automate pathology labs worldwide and developing new and innovative products.
