Who Am I?
Hi, I’m Nabeel — a former Army Medical Corps officer, now a practicing pathologist and undergrad teacher in a medical college. When I’m not buried under slides and reports, you’ll probably find me watching football, playing chess, cycling to nowhere in particular, playing games on my Xbox, or reading books on my Kindle.
Pathocyte is a way of blending my love for teaching with my long-time dream of building something useful. The name combines Patho- (from pathos — disease) with -cyte (cell) — also a little wordplay on ‘site’ for a website.
The logo is a cartoon version of a macrophage, happily gobbling up knowledge — or whatever comes its way. The blue and pink colors represent hematoxylin and eosin, the iconic stains of every pathology lab.
I hope you find something helpful here, and if you do — don’t forget to pass it on!
