The Belfast-based company, a Queen's University spin-out, is undertaking its expansion plan with £390,000 of support from Invest Northern Ireland. The investment is aimed at driving international sales of PathXL's award-winning tumour detection software TissueMark, developed with R&D assistance from Invest NI.

PathXL's Chief Executive, Des Speed, said: "Our ultimate aim is to become world famous for contributing something really meaningful to the field of digital pathology. This investment will help us to further develop the new TissueMark automated tumour detection, analysis and identification solution and broaden the exposure of, and interest in, our digital pathology solution concepts.

"Invest NI's support will mean we can progress our growth plans at a faster pace and greater scale to develop new products and attract new sales."

The 32 new roles are in areas including software development, account management, software support and testing, operations and project management.

Invest NI's R&D support is part funded by the European Regional Development Fund.
