About the Department of Pathology

The Department of Pathology at Stanford School of Medicine, one of its founding departments, stands as a leader among its peers nationwide. Our preeminent faculty spans from emerging leaders to highly accomplished physicians and scientists, including a Nobel laureate and members of the National Academy. Our mission is to improve the diagnosis, treatment, and basic understanding of the human disease. This is done through discovery (research), education, and clinical care. Comprised of extraordinary faculty and staff, our mission is to improve the ability to diagnose, treat and understand the origin and

manifestation of human disease, and to care for those who have or are at risk to develop disease. We accomplish this through our

clinical services (in all fields of anatomic and clinical pathology, including molecular and genomic pathology, histocompatibility

testing and transfusion medicine) and be research (which includes basic, translational and clinical research into the origins and

manifestations of disease, including efforts to improve disease prediction and prevention as part of the goal of achieving precision

medicine and health), and also by educating future leaders in pathology and related fields. Everything we do is to achieve the goals

of providing the highest quality of clinical services to the patients for whom we passionately care, to advance our ability to

understand, diagnose, monitor and ultimately to cure disease or to prevent or delay its occurrence, and to provide outstanding

education and career development opportunities to those who share these goals.
