Program Description

The Experimental Pathology Program of the NYU Department of Pathology covers a wide variety of topics, from stem cells to cancer vaccines to parasite immunology to tumor angiogenesis. The common thread uniting these research themes is an emphasis on organismal biology/pathology, with an integrative, holistic focus that is echoed in the philosophy of our Graduate Program in Pathobiology. Currently funded experimental pathology research includes: Alzheimer Disease, Alzheimer drug discovery, cerebrovascular amyloidosis; Immunotherapy and breast cancer; Outcomes, early stage, and growth regulation of prostate cancer; Dendritic cell vaccines; Dendritic cell behavior at the maternal/fetal interface; Signaling in lymphocytes and inborn immunodeficiencies; and Sarcoma mouse models.
