HISTOPATHOLOGY FOR TRANSLATIONAL SCIENTISTS

PATH 802
Course Description

Introduces the pathogenesis of disease via integration of actual autopsy patient cases. Emphasis is placed on understanding the basic mechanisms of disease at the level of cell, organ, and body, as well as the morphologic expression patterns of selected common specific disease processes. Participate in autopsy gross organ conferences as well as microscopic review sessions. Concepts covered in lectures will be applied and reinforced in the interactive autopsy sessions. Observe at least one full autopsy, gaining a three-dimensional understanding of structure and disease.

CELLULAR AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY/PATHOLOGY

PATH 750

Emphasizes current understanding of molecular and cellular mechanisms. Wherever possible, human diseases are used to illustrate the outcome at the organismal level of defects in these mechanisms. Focuses on different cell types and how cells function. We also discuss how cells talk to themselves and each other. Topics include mechanisms of cell survival and division. Provides an overview of a broad set of cell biology topics to demonstrate the breadth and diversity of cellular functions.
