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 program emphasizes:

• Bone and Matrix Pathobiology
• Cancer
• Vascular and Cardiovascular Pathobiology
• Immunopathology, Lymphatics, and Transplantation
• Neuropathobiology and Endocrine Disorders
• Microbiology and Infectious Disease

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 members—on campus and at university teaching hospitals—conduct 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.

Research foci include:

• Antimicrobial Resistance: Surveillance and Mechanisms
• Bone and Connective Tissue Diseases including Disorders of Mineral Metabolism
• Cancer Pathogenesis and Prevention
• Cardiovascular Disease
• Cell-Matrix Interactions
• Development: Cell Cycle, Differentiation, Signalling
• Diabetes
• Endocrine and Neuroendocrine Disorders
• Hematopathology and Transfusion Medicine
• Immunopathology and Transplantation
• Inflammatory Disorders
• Lipid Disorders
• Lymphatic Pathobiology
• Microbial Pathogenesis
• Molecular Biomarkers
• Neurodegenerative Disorders
• Proteomics and Bioinformatics
• Protein Structure and Function
• Toxicology
• Translational Research
• Vascular Cell Biology
• Viral Diseases

Students may also be interested in the combined degree program in Medicine, Doctor of / Doctor of Philosophy (MD/PhD).​
