As part of the European expansion, BioImagene appointed Giancarlo Migliore as Director for European Sales and opened an office in Milan, Italy. The new office will provide expert sales and service support to the company's growing European customer base. Giancarlo Migliore, explained, "As part of our global expansion strategy, we have brought our combined expertise in image analysis and digital imaging to European pathology customers. Some of our products such as the iSlide are the first of its kind to be launched here."
