Bridging the Basic Sciences and Clinical
Medicine
P
athology and the anatomical sciences form a bridge between the basic sciences and
clinical medicine. Anatomical sciences provide an understanding of the structure and
function of the body; pathology provides an understanding of all aspects of human disease.
At the University of Missouri, Pathology and Anatomical Sciences is a single academic
department encompassing all of these areas.
Faculty in the department teach and conduct research in functional anatomy, histology, cell
biology, evolutionary morphology, neuroscience, pathobiology, and laboratory medicine, and
practice medicine in anatomic pathology, forensic pathology and clinical pathology
(laboratory medicine).
Our website has navigation bars at the top to view educational programs, clinical services
and research areas of interest. The divisions of the department are:





Anatomical Sciences, which includes integrative/functional anatomy and histology
Clinical Pathology, which includes all laboratory testing
Anatomic Pathology, which includes all biopsies and Pap smears
Forensic Services, which includes the medical examiner service for Boone and
Callaway counties
Pathology Informatics, which includes Translational and Cancer Bioinformatics and
Digital Pathology Services
