About the Department of Pathology
The Department of Pathology is a founding department of the Stanford School of Medicine and one of the leading pathology departments in the United States. Our faculty include emerging leaders and highly accomplished physicians and scientists, including a Nobel laureate and members of the National Academy. Our mission is to improve the diagnosis, treatment, and understanding of human disease through discovery, education, and clinical care.
Comprised of exceptional faculty, staff, and trainees, the department works to improve the ability to diagnose, treat, and understand the origins and manifestations of human disease and to care for those who have, or are at risk of developing, disease. We accomplish this through clinical services across anatomic and clinical pathology, including molecular and genomic pathology, histocompatibility testing, and transfusion medicine. Our research spans basic, translational, and clinical investigation into the origins and manifestations of disease, including efforts to improve disease prediction and prevention and advance precision health. We also educate and develop future leaders in pathology and related fields.
Everything we do supports our goals of providing high-quality clinical services, advancing the understanding, diagnosis, monitoring, treatment, and prevention of disease, and offering outstanding education and career development opportunities to those who share these goals.
