The newest of the Divisions in the UIC Department of Pathology, the Division of Pathology Research was developed around a novel research focus: the fusion of population science (molecular epidemiology) and pathology.
How does this work? Molecular epidemiologists need to work with the resources managed by pathologists – fluids and tissues. Therefore, each practicing pathologist in the department can and does work with the Research Division, and Research Division faculty have immediate access to research resources.
By studying the molecular basis for disease across populations, the Division contributes to the discovery of novel biomarkers that influences the practice of diagnostic pathology in the Divisions of Cyopathology, Surgical Pathology, and Clinical Pathology.
Bench to bedside research? The UIC Division of Pathology Research hosts multiple Federally funded, investigator initiated clinical trials. From the tissue culture lab, to the animal model, to the patient – all in one research community.
With an emphasis on translational research, the UIC Division of Pathology Research prepares pathologists-in-training for careers as clinical investigators, and the Division is now preparing a novel graduate school curriculum for doctoral science candidates at the intersection of population science and pathology.
The UIC Division of Pathology Research – translational, transdisciplinary, and totally innovative.
