Although examination of tissue by light microscopy continues to be the fundamental diagnostic technique in anatomic pathology, the Division of Anatomic and Molecular Pathology uses several other laboratory diagnostic methodologies, including Immunohistochemistry, electron microscopy, flow cytometry and molecular genetic testing.

The Division of Genomic and Molecular Pathology is dedicated to developing and delivering innovative genomic assays for oncology, inherited disorders, and other genetic diseases. Through cutting-edge diagnostics and translational research, we enable precision medicine and help ensure patients receive the most informed and effective care. The Division is home to ACGME-accredited fellowships in Laboratory Genetics and Genomics and Molecular Genetic Pathology.

With its 14 basic science laboratories, including 4 led by members of the National Academy of Sciences and one Howard Hughes Medical Investigator, the Division of Immunobiology is internationally recognized for its key discoveries in immunology.

Home to 17 basic and clinical research laboratories, the Division of Laboratory and Genomic Medicine is at the forefront of test development and application, particularly in the fields of genomics, epigenomics, and proteomics.

By integrating modern techniques and insights gleaned from new developments in basic molecular neuroscience research, the Division of Neuropathology is committed to the advancement of the clinical practice of diagnostic neuropathology.
