The Institute of Pathology was founded in 1940 at the initiative of Prof. Janez Plečnik. In 1945 the Institute became a part of the complete Faculty of Medicine in Ljubljana. The first head of the Institute was Prof. France Hribar (1940–1966), the man who wrote the first Slovenian textbook on general pathology. The Institute was later led by Prof. Ivan F. Lenart (1966–1976), Prof. Anton Dolenc (1977–1987), Prof. Dušan Ferluga and Prof. Nina Gale (2001–2013). From 2013 to the present the head of the Institute has been Prof. Jože Pižem.
