Lucille P. Markey Special Emphasis Pathway in Human Pathobiology |
 | |
|
To help bridge the gap between clinical and basic research, Washington University in St. Louis has developed a program to train Ph.D. candidates and postdoctoral fellow in various aspects of human disease. The Lucille P. Markey Special Emphasis Pathway in Human Pathobiology is an innovative educational experience introducing students and fellows to human disease states not generally covered in graduate courses.
There has been explosive growth of biomedical science in the past two decades. The basic sciences, in particular, have expanded and evolved rapidly. At the same time, a serious lag has developed in bringing new knowledge gained through basic science to the bedside to help patients. Real advances in treating common, serious human diseases require detailed mechanistic understanding of the biological basis of clinical medicine. The clinical specialties provide limitless opportunities for important, challenging basic research in the pathogenesis and treatment of human disease.
