Ex-Pfizerites create Cutting Image Histology

The announcement that Pfizer was closing its Ann Arbor campus scared Wendy Rosebury, but she and a co-worker swallowed hard and took the entrepreneurial plunge by starting Cutting Image Histology.

The two women are experts in histology and by last May were the proud owners of their own Ann Arbor start-up.

Their website describes the company as a "preclinical research-based histopathology and immunohistochemistry contract laboratory serving the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and academic research communities." That roughly means it does drug-development research for everyone from pharmaceutical companies to the everyday Joe.

The company has been able to steadily add more customers and equipment. It has eight clients and expects to add more as their start-up's reputation continues to spread through word of mouth. The company expects to hire its first non-partner employee soon after it attracts more customers.
