病理学和检验医学哲学博士

病理学是对疾病的研究，将生物医学的各个方面结合起来，以进一步理解疾病过程，并开发出诊断，预防和治疗疾病的方法。病理学和实验室医学博士学位是为希望参与突破性科学研究并为生物医学知识的发展做出贡献，了解疾病如何在机械水平上起作用的学生而设计的。毕业生将为博士后奖学金，科学写作，作为主要研究人员运营实验室以及在政府一级制定科学政策做好准备。我们的部门特别关注癌症，免疫，炎性和神经系统疾病。我们拥有一支由核心成员和联合成员组成的强大多元化的师资队伍，他们为实验病理学提供多种研究和培训机会。
Pathology, the study of disease, integrates all aspects of biomedical science to further the understanding of disease processes and develop methods for diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of disease. The PhD in Pathology & Laboratory Medicine is for students who want to participate in breakthrough scientific research and contribute to the advancement of biomedical knowledge, learning how diseases work at a mechanistic level. Graduates will be prepared for postdoctoral fellowships, science writing, running a lab as a principal investigator, and shaping science policy at the government level.<br><br>Our department focuses particularly on cancer, immunologic, inflammatory, and neurologic disorders. We have a strong and diverse faculty composed of core and joint members who offer multiple research and training opportunities in experimental pathology.<br><br>Current foci of research by departmental faculty and students include:<br><br>The development of the brain<br>Disorders of brain development and normal aging<br>Effects of nutrition on the developing brain<br>Disorders of cell cycle and cell signaling in the pathogenesis and progression of cancer<br>Normal and abnormal immunological responses to infectious agents and environmental toxins and to other stimuli<br>The neuroscience of Alzheimer's disease<br>Traumatic brain injury<br>The pathogenesis of asthma<br>Development of immunotherapies for cancer and infectious diseases
