Chair's Welcome

The Department of Pathology has a long and rich history of excellence in clinical service, training, and research. Our physicians and scientists are experts in a variety of subspecialties in anatomic pathology, laboratory medicine, genomics and molecular pathology, investigational pathology, and immunology. Our diverse faculty study and diagnose patient disease and medical conditions using state-of-the-art methodologies.

Our academic community boasts a strong research tradition. Faculty, residents, fellows, students, and staff participate in a wide range of scientific endeavors, from basic science to translational and clinical research. In order to foster a rich academic community, we are dedicated to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion within our department. We are committed to maintaining an egalitarian environment in which all members can fully participate in the life of the University. This commitment to equity and inclusion also extends to the diverse patient populations we serve on the South Side of Chicago.

Educational programs at the University of Chicago, Pritzker School of Medicine, and the Basic Sciences Division focus on clinical residency, fellowships, and graduate training in the biosciences, immunology, and cancer biology. Our faculty is actively involved in cultivating the next generation of clinicians and scholars who will be involved in cutting-edge basic research or in demanding clinical subspecialty practices.
