New technology has enabled tools for examination of biological structure in both macroscopic and microscopic worlds, and has facilitated powerful computational approaches for integrating those data with other modes including molecular, genetic, and biochemical information. Imaging, mechanical, electrical and optical biosensors, and high-resolution tissue and cellular microscopic evaluations, can be married with the new analytics of machine vision and machine learning to obtain insight into biomedical mechanisms.

Our department achieves high standards of education, research and patient care, all with the goal of bringing the Department of Pathology and Anatomical Sciences to a new level.

We are a diverse department with Divisions of Pathology and Anatomical Sciences at the medical school campus, four university-affiliated hospital systems, more than 40 full-time and geographic full-time faculty as well as residency and graduate programs. The disciplines of pathology and anatomy, both based on the structure of cells and tissues, are the foundation of almost every clinical specialty. They are at the vanguard of discovery, diagnosis and patient care and they are arguably the most exciting and rewarding of all the fields in medicine and biomedical science.
