Onderwijs

De afdeling Pathologie levert een belangrijke inhoudelijke (en ook  bestuurlijke) bijdrage aan het onderwijs binnen het LUMC. Vanwege het grote aantal onderwijsmomenten en de diversiteit van onderwerpen is de hele staf hierbij betrokken, waarbij gestreefd wordt naar topkwaliteit. Dit betreft:

  • Onderwijs aan studenten;
  • Onderwijs in kader van keuzecoschap of semiartsstage bij de pathologie;
  • Opleiding in research via stageplaatsen;
  • Opleiding tot patholoog;
  • Opleiding tot klinisch moleculair bioloog in de pathologie (KMBP)
  • En bij- en nascholing van medisch specialisten, onderzoekers en analisten.
  • Fellowship en verdiepingsstages in deelgebieden bot- en weke delen en gyneacopathologie.
Research

The department of Pathology hosts basic, translational, and clinical research. Our research is largely focused on clinical material to understand mechanisms of disease and to translate findings to improved diagnostics and therapy. In particular, the department has a strong tradition of translating research findings to molecular diagnostic applications.

Research programs

The core of the research performed at the department of Pathology is subdivided into cancer research and research on vascular and renal diseases (including organ and cell transplantation). Our research groups go beyond the traditional approaches applied in Pathology as several groups are proficient in genomic and multidimensional immunophenotyping technologies, functional biochemical assays, and in state-of-the-art computational approaches (e.g. artificial intelligence).

The scientific research conducted at the department of Pathology is done in close collaboration with other departments of the LUMC as well as external national and international research groups. The research topics are closely aligned with the centers of expertise and European Reference Networks.
