research, linking laboratory research with new modalities
of diagnosis and therapy. Department of Pathology faculty
members play key roles in translational research. Their work
covers a broad spectrum of topics directly related to human
disease using a wide variety of approaches from the basic
sciences.
As part of one of the largest pathology departments in the
United States, faculty members provide a cutting-edge scientific
environment in the fields of cancer research, neurodegenerative
disorders, AIDS and other disease processes.
