About Pathology
About Pathology
Pathology is the specialized area of biomedical science that emphasizes the study of disease, and it is therefore one of the most multidisciplinary fields of research. Investigators in a pathology department may be utilizing information and experimental techniques originally developed in almost any area of modern biology and, in return, may contribute new knowledge of benefit to many other disciplines. Research on disease may target any of the organ systems, in normal and abnormal conditions, and studies may be conducted from a structural, functional, or molecular perspective at any level, from the intact organism down to specific components of the individual cell. Research in pathology often provides a unique link to human data, with an opportunity to translate experimental research into improved methods of diagnosis and therapy.
The Pathology Department offers research training in a wide variety of areas such as:
- cancer research, including the fundamental biology of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, brain tumors, and the mechanisms of metastasis;
- immunology and transplantation;
- autoimmune disorders;
- ophthalmic pathology;
- cell biology;
- pulmonary disease;
- neurodegenerative disorders;
- smooth muscle pathophysiology; and
- gastrointestinal disease.
Modern techniques and equipment include light, fluorescence, and electron microscopy (both transmission and scanning), laser capture, flow cytometry, DNA, RNA, protein analysis, cell culture, advanced immunological, pharmacological, biochemical, and physiological techniques, as well as morphometry and computer-aided analysis.
| Master of Science (M.Sc.) Pathology (Thesis) (45 credits) |
|---|
|
Graduates can directly enter rewarding careers in research, or opt to continue with their studies and obtain a Ph.D. Some combine their research training with subsequent training in medicine, law, or business administration. |
| Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Pathology |
|
Our graduates enter successful careers in industry, academia, government/international agencies, or clinical medicine, sometimes combining two of these options. They leave ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ with experience in leadership and communication skills in addition to being highly trained in biomedical research, and their career choices include a wide range of administrative and research positions around the world. |

Admission Requirements
Admission Requirements
Applicants must have a B.Sc. or an equivalent degree with an extensive background in the physical and biological sciences. An academic record equivalent to or better than a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 3.2 out of 4.0 at ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ is required for at least the two final full-time years of undergraduate training, with a minimum CGPA of 3.0 overall. All candidates are expected to apply for scholarships and fellowships, which usually require a higher CGPA or other evidence of excellence.
Applicants to graduate studies whose first language is not English must submit the results of the and examinations if they have not completed an undergraduate or graduate degree in a Canadian university or recognized foreign institution where English is the language of instruction.
Students are normally accepted into the M.Sc. program, and those candidates showing exceptional ability may be permitted to transfer into the Ph.D. program after one year of training.
Applicants who already possess an additional degree (M.Sc., M.D.) with appropriate research experience may be allowed to register in the Ph.D. program directly.
For further information, applicants may contact the Teaching Office, Department of Pathology: gradstudies.pathology [at] mcgill.ca.
