Pathobiology, PhD
Johns Hopkins University · Baltimore, United States
About this programme
Pathology is an integrative discipline that examines, in an integrative and quantitative manner, the whole organism and its component tissues, cells, and molecules to identify the causes and mechanisms of disease and how diseases can be treated and managed for patient care. Thus, pathology is a clinical, experimental, and translational endeavor. Contemporary pathology uses a vast array of state-of-the-art techniques and methods including, but not limited to, histology, high-resolution microscopy, genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, genome editing (CRISPR-Cas9/TALENS), induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), and cell and transgenic animals of human disease. The Pathobiology Graduate Program is committed to rigorously training students in basic science concepts underlying human disease, translational therapeutics, and related technologies and methods for therapeutic target discovery to prepare students for academic, research, teaching, and biotechnology careers.
