Research in the Department of Pathology

Our innovative research programs in Pathology bridge multiple disciplines to pursue both fundamental and translational research. Our goals are to understand the basic molecular, cellular, and physiological mechanisms of disease and to continually translate our findings into improved patient care.

The fields of molecular pathology and diagnostics are being transformed by our researchers, whose investigations focus on unraveling the mechanisms of cancer progression and etiology of inflammatory and degenerative diseases. Strongest areas of expertise are: molecular biology, cell biology, genetics, virology, and vascular biology.
