Research in the Department of Pathology & Anatomical Sciences aims to obtain mechanistic understanding and predictive power through analysis of molecular, cellular and organismal structure.
Advanced computational tools allow mining of vast amounts of information that is embedded in biological structure and dynamics at a variety of levels ranging from human gross anatomy down to the microscopic behavior of cells and organelles. Furthermore, computational methods permit integration across large and diverse datasets, such as images and "-omics" databases, in order to develop new predictive models, diagnoses and treatments, and to advance basic understanding of human biology.
