医学院的病理与解剖科学系通过密苏里大学的病理生物学领域计划提供博士学位。该跨学科计划中教师的特殊多样性为针对遗传学，神经科学，癌症生物学，整合/进化解剖学和转化生物信息学等问题的转化和基础科学研究提供了多种机会。如果您有兴趣在病理学和解剖学系获得此（或其他）博士学位课程的博士学位，请在在线申请之前联系研究生院院长。对转化生物信息学（TBI）研究感兴趣的学生可以专门申请病理生物学领域计划中的重点领域。TBI是生物医学的一个令人兴奋的新领域，它涉及使用计算机算法将分子生物学，遗传学，生物化学和其他生物医学领域
In many respects it overlaps with traditional bioinformatics and computational biology but puts an emphasis on practical realization of computational approaches for the benefit of the patient, especially in context of personalized medicine. There are two tracks in our TBI program: Translational and Cancer Bioinformatics (TCBI) and Pathology Informatics (PI). TCBI doctoral students will conduct research related to computational methods for disease diagnostics and therapeutics (a.k.a., theranostics) while PI doctoral students will study computerized methods to improve Laboratory Information Systems (LIS), Digital Pathology (DP) as well as cutting-edge Whole-Slide Image (WSI) processing algorithms.The TBI emphasis area program is led by Pathology and Anatomical Sciences faculty in close collaboration with faculty from University of Missouri Informatics Institute (MUII), Department of Health Management and Informatics (HMI) and Department of Computer Science.The University of Missouri (MU) is unique in affording access to a wide variety of resources on the same campus, some of which include the School of Medicine, College of Arts and Sciences, College of Engineering, College of Veterinary Medicine, Bond Life Sciences Center and University of Missouri Health Care. This proximity facilitates access to exceptionally diverse and cutting-edge resources, with myriad cross-disciplinary opportunities for translational research and education.
