in defined research projects, and independently conduct and analyze
experiments. About the Department of PathologyComprised of
extraordinary faculty and staff, our mission is to improve the
ability to diagnose, treat and understand the origin and
manifestation of human disease, and to care for those who have or
are at risk to develop disease. We accomplish this through our
clinical services (in all fields of anatomic and clinical
pathology, including molecular and genomic pathology,
histocompatibility testing and transfusion medicine) and be
research (which includes basic, translational and clinical research
into the origins and manifestations of disease, including efforts
to improve disease prediction and prevention as part of the goal of
achieving precision medicine and health), and also by educating
future leaders in pathology and related fields. Everything we do is
to achieve the goals of providing the highest quality of clinical
services to the patients for whom we passionately care, to advance
our ability to understand, diagnose, monitor and ultimately to cure
