Biography

Dr Bignold graduated in Medicine from the University of Western Australia, and has post-graduate qualifications in internal medicine, experimental pathology, and diagnostic histopathology. From the 1980s, he has practiced and taught general and diagnostic histopathology at the University of Adelaide and the South Australian state government pathology service (SA Pathology, formerly Institute of Medical and Veterinary Science). Dr Bignold has written many articles on how genomic instability might explain the histopathological features of tumors, as well as related issues. In 2015, he published "Principles of Tumors: a Translational Approach to Foundations", Elsevier, Academic Press, Waltham, MA. With colleagues, he has also published a study of the origins of tumor pathology: "David Paul Hansemann: Contributions to Oncology" Birkhäuser, Basel, (2007) and a volume on the history of medicine: "Virchow's Eulogies" Birkhäuser, Basel, (2008). In 2006, he edited a volume “Cancer: cell structures, carcinogens and genomic instability”. (EXS vol 96, 2006). http://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/3-7643-7378-4/page/1;
