HISTOPATHOLOGY FOR TRANSLATIONAL SCIENTISTS

PATH 803

This course will focus on disease pathogenesis and discussion of the leading disease research model. Throughout the course, we will combine expert clinicians, basic scientists, and literature review on specific major diseases.

PATH 920

Understand the central role that diagnostic pathology and laboratory testing play in medical care in all specialties. Review your course work in anatomic and clinical Pathology and add to your fund of knowledge. Familiarize yourself with the workings of a busy diagnostic tissue laboratory. Participate in daily "clinical-pathologist" discussions concerning the effects of various pathological conditions as they relate to specific clinical problems. Understand the role of anatomic and clinical pathology as they contribute to the understanding of disease processes.

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.

PATH 404

Provides a basic understanding of the causes, pathophysiology, pathology and clinical manifestations of disease states from a medical perspective.

PATH-BIO 559

General mechanisms of disease at the cellular, tissue, organ, and organismal levels. Cell injury and cell death, neoplasia, inflammation, circulation, and genetics.
