病理学实验室科学理学硕士课程侧重于病理学和相关学科的基础科学和实验室技术。硕士课程由病理学和检验医学名誉教授，该系前副主席Adrianne Rogers博士创立。毕业生将准备在基础科学，生物技术和其他生物医学研究实验室中使用基于形态学的方法来设计，执行和评估研究。学生学习使用形态学方法准备和评估动物或人类细胞和组织对测试化合物，设备或程序的影响。技术包括用于检查细胞和组织的肉眼，显微和超微结构技术，包括组织化学染色和免疫组织化学，免疫荧光和放射性同位素方法，某些临床化学，血液学，免疫学和放射性同位素方法，
The Master of Science in Pathology Laboratory Sciences Program focuses on the basic science and laboratory techniques of pathology and related disciplines. The Masters Program was founded in 2003 by Dr Adrianne Rogers, Emeritus Professor of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine and former Associate Chair of the department. Graduates will be prepared to work in basic science, biotechnology and other biomedical research laboratories designing, performing, and evaluating research using methods based on morphology. Students learn to prepare and evaluate animal or human cells and tissues for the effects of test compounds, devices or procedures using morphologic methods.<br><br>Techniques include gross, microscopic and ultrastructural techniques for examination of cells and tissues, including histochemical staining and immunohistochemical, immunofluorescence and radioisotopic methods, certain clinical chemistry, hematological, immunological and radioisotopic methods for examination of blood and tissue fluids or extracts. Offerings include some or all of the following specialized techniques in the basic laboratory rotations or in the student's laboratory research project: laser capture techniques, in situ hybridization including fluorescence detection (FISH) and confocal or electron microscopy, image analysis & virtual pathology. Students learn and rotate in modern, well equipped laboratories on the BU Medical Campus.<br><br>The Master of Science in Pathology and Laboratory Sciences is a two year program that can help prepare you for a future career path in:<br><br><br>Academia<br>Biotech/Pharmaceutical Industry<br>Medical School<br>PhD Program
