Administrative history
The Department of Pathology is under the Faculty of Medicine. It is one of the twelve departments initially set up under UBC Medicine when first established in 1949. The Department is now known as the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine offers electives to medical students to enhance the student's understanding of disease causation and the processes underlying the induction, progression, and regression of disease; and the knowledge of laboratory tests in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. The Department also has research teams pursuing questions about the causes, consequences, and control of degenerative, inflammatory, and infectious diseases of heart and blood vessels, interstitial and airways diseases of lung, cancer and carcinogenesis in adults and children, diabetogenesis, coagulation and blood diseases, lipid disorders, environmental risks to water, food and air, inflammatory and degenerative brain diseases, developmental biology and fetal-maternal relationships, imaging technologies and data integration strategies, and clinical-pathological correlations that rely on genetic, pathological, environmental, clinical, and demographic information.
