Morphology and Functional Pathology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A pathology lab that trains pathologists through diagnostic pathology and basic research.
AboutAbout the lab
Training young pathologists through diagnostic pathology and basic research.
The Morphology and Functional Pathology Lab at the Faculty of Medical Sciences, Kyushu University, engages in diagnostic pathology, basic research, and the training of future pathologists.
Supported by a rich collection of cases built up over many years and by research supervision from chiefs for each organ system, the lab covers a wide range of research fields.
In basic research, the lab combines molecular biology methods for examining proteins and genes with the morphological analysis techniques at which pathologists excel.
Through diagnosis and autopsy, pathology is connected to nearly all clinical departments, and there is a growing amount of work related to biomarker testing for selecting treatments and to cancer genomic profiling gene panel testing.
Key terms
- Morphological analysis
- Analysis that examines the shape of tissues and cells. A technique at which pathologists excel
- Biomarker testing
- Testing performed to select a therapeutic drug. One of the tasks of pathology
- Cancer genomic profiling gene panel testing
- A type of genetic testing. The amount of pathologists' work related to this testing is increasing
ResearchResearch themes
