Department of Pathology & Immunology
The Department of Pathology & Immunology is involved in the clinical diagnosis and monitoring of disease, in the teaching of pathology and immunology, and in research on the molecular basis of disease and immunology.
The department is responsible through its divisions for studying the pathogenesis and the biochemical and anatomical basis of diseases. Pathologists do research on disease processes using molecular, genetic, and structural analysis. Pathologists have the responsibility for the cytological and anatomical diagnosis of diseases and for developing novel structural and molecular approaches for the analysis of them, particularly cancers and infectious diseases. The divisions of Anatomic and Molecular Pathology, Immunobiology, Laboratory and Genomic Medicine, Genomic and Molecular Pathology, and Neuropathology have faculty involved in teaching, clinical service, and research. Many clinical faculty have appointments with Siteman Cancer Center.
The department teaches an extensive course during the second year of the curriculum and presents a number of conferences that third- and fourth-year students can attend. The department also offers a number of clinical electives, including an Advanced Clinical Rotation in Anatomic Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. The department plays a variety of leadership and instruction roles in the undergraduate Gateway Curriculum. Students can take elective rotations in Autopsy Pathology, Surgical Pathology, or Laboratory Medicine, or they may participate in the research activities of the faculty.
The Division of Immunobiology integrates immunobiology activities at the school. It is for conducting basic research in immunobiology and in the immunological basis of disease.
Many faculty in the department are involved in graduate teaching and participate in the various programs offered by the Division of Biology and Biomedical Sciences. The department has strong participation in the Immunology graduate program, with many opportunities in basic and translational research.
