Research Opportunity Program
Credit course for supervised participation in faculty research project. See page 43 for details.
LMP300Y1
Introduction to Pathobiology 52L, 6P
Concepts in pathogenesis; cell injury and death; tissue structure, wound healing; repair and fibrosis. Molecular basis of major
organ system pathology. The laboratory examines gross anatomical specimens and introduces histopathology. Enrolment is
limited to students specializing in pathobiology who have completed the first and second year requirements of the program.
Exclusion: LMP301H1
LMP301H1
Introduction to the Biochemistry of Human Disease 26L
Introduces concepts and mechanisms of disease processes as they arise from disturbances of normal biochemical and
physiological functions. The rational use of the clinical biochemistry laboratory in the diagnosis and management of disease is
explained. Not intended for students in the Pathobiology Specialist program.
Exclusion: LMP300Y1
Prerequisite: BCH210H1
Co-requisite: PSL302Y1/JBO302Y1
LMP363H1
Principles of Pathobiology 26L
Pathological changes brought on by foreign compounds; applications of pathology to the detection of toxic carcinogenic
actions.
Prerequisite: BIO250Y1, CHM247H1
LMP365H1
Neoplasia 20L, 6P
A general introduction to the cellular and molecular aspects of cancer and its etiology. The laboratory component presents the
range of benign and malignant tumor types at the gross and histological levels. Pathophysiology of cancer, invasion and
metastases, role of the immune system.
Co-requisite: LMP300Y1 or permission of department
LMP402H1
Inflammation and Infection 26L
Cellular and molecular components of the inflammatory response. Activation of the inflammatory response by viral and
microbial pathogens. Tissue pathology resulting from the inflammatory response. Evolution of pathogens to avoid and exploit
the response.
Prerequisite: IMM334Y1/(MGY377H1, MGY378H1)
LMP403H1
Immunopathology 26L
The immune system in disease. Responses of the immune system to host invasion, injurious stimuli, and transplantation.
Immunopathology of organ-specific diseases including pancreas, gut, liver, heart, kidney, and blood. Intended for students
specializing in pathobiology or related programs.
Prerequisite: IMM334Y1
LMP404H1
Bone and Skeletal Disorders 26L
Molecular and cellular architecture of connective tissue in health and in diseases, such as osteoporosis and arthritis. Cellular
and endocrine signals necessary for formation and maintenance of the skeleton. Biomechanics and tissue engineering of bone
and cartilage. Selected other connective tissue diseases, their genetic variability, and up-to-date treatment strategies.
LMP405Y1
Project in Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology 156P
A self-contained research project to be completed under the supervision of a faculty member. The main areas of research are
as listed in the description of the Department (above). The student will normally have completed three full years of study, and is
expected to devote at least one full day per week to the project. Admission is by arrangement with the Department and with a
particular supervisor. A list of potential supervisors is available from the Departmental Office and on our web site.
Prerequisite: BCH210H1/310H1, LMP300Y1/LMP363H1/LMP365H1 and permission of department
LMP406H1
Pathobiology of the Cardiovascular System 26L
Pathobiology of the heart, blood vessels, and lymphatic system. Congenital diseases of the heart, ischemic injury, stroke.
Treatments of vascular disease and cardiovascular biomaterials. Major focus on atherosclerosis and hypertension. The
emphasis is on the underlying cell biology of these processes.
LMP410H1
Pathobiology of Neurodegenerative Disease 26L
Molecular basis of neurodegenerative diseases of the central and peripheral nervous systems. Relevant neuroanatomy and
molecular biology of the CNS. Current research topics in neurodegenerative diseases.
LMP436H1
Microbial Pathogenesis 39L
Molecular mechanism involved in pathogenesis of infectious disease. Topics include recurrent themes in the establishment of
infectious disease, such as adherence and spread of pathogenic bacteria as well as evasion of host defences. Emphasis is
placed on genetic characterization and expression of virulence determinants and on interactions between bacterial pathogens
and their hosts.
Prerequisite: BCH210H1, IMM334Y1/MGY377H1
