The Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology graduate program delivers a comprehensive curriculum with multidisciplinary research opportunities focused on human disease mechanisms, culminating in MSc and PhD degrees. Our department features outstanding research training initiatives that explore the fundamental causes and molecular foundations of human diseases. More than 130 faculty members across campus and affiliated teaching hospitals lead research projects, teach pathobiology courses, and mentor students in our PhD and MSc programs. We foster a distinctive academic research culture that promotes collaboration between clinicians, researchers, and trainees. Students develop deep insights into how breakthroughs in both fundamental and clinical research translate into improved approaches for treating human diseases.
For the first time in Canadian history, within the next ten years, individuals aged 65+ will surpass those under 15 in population numbers. To identify potential health and longevity interventions, our investigators examine the molecular and physiological transformations that accompany development and aging processes.
