The Department of Pathology is one of the largest pathology departments
in the world with approximately 84 primary faculty members, many
of whom are recognized as international experts in their fields.
Their research covers a broad spectrum of topics directly related
to human disease using approaches from the various fields of basic
science, e.g., biochemistry, microbiology, virology, and molecular
biology. Biomedical research at USC focuses on linking research
in the laboratory to patient care by studying mechanisms of disease.
The pathology faculty receives substantial funding through grants
from federal and private agencies; for 2006-2007, funded research
totaled over $12 million.
The research facilities of the department include biochemistry,
molecular biology, histology, and tissue culture facilities. Equipment
is available for research in all of the areas under investigation
in the department and in the neighboring Norris Cancer Center. A
separate containment level-3 facility is available for research
for research related to AIDS and human retroviruses and oncogenes.
Library services are available on the Health Sciences Campus.
