Research Overview

The Department of Pathology and Molecular Medicine has outstanding scientists with expertise in Basic, Clinical and Translational research. The department is administratively divided into three divisions, Clinical Pathology, Anatomical Pathology and Anatomy & Molecular Medicine created to increase coordination and communication between the many research programs within the department. They also serve to maximize resources and raise awareness of our expertise in several areas. The integration of the academic department and the Hamilton regional laboratory medicine program provide opportunities for scientists to conduct research that optimizes patient care and champion innovative ideas.

Our scientists operate geographically in multiple locations across the city of Hamilton and are cross-appointed in various departments and collaborative research institutes. The pursuit of excellence unites us, the goal of enhancing our academic and clinical collaboration, leading to improved clinical care and training, ultimately improving patient health and outcomes.
