Research
The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine has approximately $5 million dollars in extramural funding annually and is consistently ranked in the upper half of pathology departments in the United States for National Institutes of Health funding. Our Department has outstanding research programs in many important fields, such as cancer biology, stem cell biology, and deafness. Genetics and cancer genomics are areas in which we are aggressively expanding our research programs, as these areas have the potential to fundamentally change the way we perform pathology and provide patient care.
The Department houses Core Facilities that offer essential research services, including high-throughput genomic sequencing, tools for manipulating gene expression in cells and experimental animals, and advanced microscopic techniques. These services are available to investigators at MUSC and other research institutions throughout South Carolina.
