WORCESTER, MA-Tom Schofield, the founder and CEO of Splice Histology, was interviewed about his company and his experience in the Auxilium accelerator program. He explained that histology is the microscopic study of tissue, a critical step in processing biopsies for diagnosis.

Schofield identified a severe nationwide shortage of histotechnologists, which was exacerbated by the pandemic and led to significant delays in patient diagnoses. He founded Splice Histology to provide backup laboratory services to hospitals and to create a new pipeline of talent by training students in partnership with universities and community colleges. He discussed the company’s rapid growth and his personal and professional development gained from the Auxilium program, which helped him address his “blind spots” in business management and fundraising.
