Message From the Chair

Massimo Loda

Massimo Loda, M.D.

What distinguishes an extraordinary pathology department from a good one? We believe it is several-fold: 1) Faculty members who are nationally regarded in their fields is essential, particularly those who have advanced subspecialty training; 2) Faculty who have a commitment to patient care, coupled with rapid delivery of diagnostic test results; 3) Faculty who are dedicated to teaching and mentoring the leaders of the future; and 4) Faculty who are doing outstanding research to advance the field of pathology as well as support other avenues of biomedical investigation with the potential to improve the practice of medicine.

Our mission is to provide accurate diagnosis, prognosis, and prediction, via critical interpretation of anatomic, laboratory and molecular analyses in patients’ specimen. This is increasingly accomplished through the adoption of technical improvements in all areas of Pathology and via integration of large data by computational tools. We are committed to discovering basic scientific principles in the pathogenesis of human disease. We provide medical, graduate and post-graduate education, playing a critical role in forming the next generation of physician and scientists.
