检验医学与病理生物学系的研究计划提供课程课程和广泛的多学科方法，以研究导致MSc和PhD学位的疾病机理。该计划着重于分析技术的发展，在生物化学，细胞生物学，临床生物化学，实验病理学，遗传学，免疫学和分子生物学中的基础研究技术的应用，以研究细胞和组织损伤的机制以及疾病的发病机理。该计划还强调了人类微生物疾病的性质，机制，治疗和预防，以及致病性微生物的传播过程。<br> <br>癌症是加拿大过早死亡的主要原因。每年，将有超过175,000例新癌症病例，约有75,000例死于这种疾病的死亡。换句话说，估计每天将
The graduate program in Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology provides a curriculum of courses and a broad-based multidisciplinary approach to research in mechanisms of human disease leading to Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. The Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology offers excellent research training programs that address the nature and molecular mechanisms of human disease. Over 130 faculty memberson campus and at university teaching hospitalsconduct studies and teach courses related to pathobiology and supervise students in the PhD and MSc programs. The department provides a unique academic research environment that encourages interaction among clinicians, scientists, and student trainees. Students can gain an excellent understanding of how discoveries in basic and clinical research settings lead to more effective strategies in the treatment of human illness.<br>Cancer is the leading cause of premature death in Canada. Each year, there will be more than 175,000 new cases and approximately 75,000 deaths from this disease. This means that every day, an estimated 500 Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer and another 200 will die. To improve cancer treatment and reduce the burden of this disease, our researchers strive to expand their understanding of cancer biology.
