Advances in medical science have dramatically expanded our understanding of diseases and improved diagnostic technologies used by pathologists. Yet, there remains a critical need for further progress, particularly in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, laboratory test results from pathology departments inform approximately 70% of medical decisions. At Weill Cornell Medicine, the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine is addressing key diagnostic challenges through innovative research, cutting-edge diagnostics and advanced informatics.
The department is a leader in precision medicine, driven by a cutting-edge genomics and informatics program that seamlessly integrates digital pathology and molecular testing to deliver highly personalized diagnostic insights. In partnership with the Department of Radiology, the pathology department co-founded the Diagnostics and Preventive Medicine Initiative, a groundbreaking initiative that utilizes advanced technologies to optimize diagnostic workflows and provide rapid, accurate results, all while enabling tailored treatment plans. Additionally, the department is home to pioneering researchers in basic science whose work is reshaping our understanding of disease mechanisms, particularly in cancer pathophysiology. These discoveries are not only advancing scientific knowledge but are also directly translating into actionable improvements in clinical practice.
Through these diverse and ground-breaking research efforts, Weill Cornell’s Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine is pushing the boundaries of medical science to improve diagnosis, treatment and outcomes for patients worldwide.
