The Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology provides a bridge between the basic sciences and medicine. Investigating the molecular mechanisms of disease is an important priority of the department. Faculty are concerned with the biochemical changes that may be associated with cell and tissue injury and with the etiology, pathogenesis and behaviour of disease. Research is carried out in such areas as cardiovascular disease, immunopathobiology, neuropathology, endocrinology and metabolism, neoplasia, bone and connective tissue disease, clinical and molecular epidemiology, antiobiotic resistance, and molecular pathogenesis of infectious disease.
The Pathobiology Specialist program gives students a broad understanding of contemporary
medical research and basic scientific insights that have revolutionized our understanding
of disease in recent years. Aspects of biochemistry, chemistry, cellular and
molecular biology, and genetics are brought to bear upon human pathology. Graduates
from the program will frequently pursue graduate studies in medical research
and eventual research careers in academic, industrial, pharmaceutical, or governmental
laboratories. A knowledge of cellular and molecular mechanisms of disease processes
is also useful in a wide variety of multidisciplinary careers in government,
regulatory agencies, law, and environment.
