病理学是强调疾病研究的生物医学科学的专业领域，因此它是研究最多的学科之一。病理科的研究人员可能会利用最初在现代生物学的几乎任何领域中开发的信息和实验技术，作为回报，可能会为许多其他学科贡献新的知识。对疾病的研究可以针对正常和异常条件下的任何器官系统，并且可以从结构，功能或分子的角度进行任何研究，从完整的生物直至单个细胞的特定成分。病理学研究通常提供与人类数据的独特链接，并有机会将实验研究转化为改进的诊断和治疗方法。毕业生可以直接进入有成就的研究领域，也可以选择继续学习并获得博士学位。有些将他们的研究训练与
Pathology is the specialized area of biomedical science that emphasizes the study of disease, and it is therefore one of the most multidisciplinary fields of research. Investigators in a pathology department may be utilizing information and experimental techniques originally developed in almost any area of modern biology and, in return, may contribute new knowledge of benefit to many other disciplines. Research on disease may target any of the organ systems, in normal and abnormal conditions, and studies may be conducted from a structural, functional, or molecular perspective at any level, from the intact organism down to specific components of the individual cell. Research in pathology often provides a unique link to human data, with an opportunity to translate experimental research into improved methods of diagnosis and therapy. Graduates can directly enter rewarding careers in research, or opt to continue with their studies and obtain a Ph.D. Some combine their research training with subsequent training in medicine, law, or business administration.<br><br>###COVID Alert Message from University – This course is offered online and will continue on campus later.
