Pathology is the science of disease, and research in Pathology is focused on understanding the cellular and molecular changes that cause disease – generating knowledge that is essential in the development of new methods for prevention and treatment. Pathology is a multidisciplinary science, and laboratory techniques overlap those used in all current fields of biomedical investigation. We offer unique opportunities for graduate students to conduct fundamental biomedical research that is directly linked to patient care, working with teams of highly experienced investigators and clinicians. Our laboratories are located on the main campus and throughout the Æ»¹ûÒùÔº network of hospitals and research institutes. Our investigators collaborate with basic scientists from a variety of other departments, and we also undertake collaborative studies with colleagues in academic institutions around the world. Graduate students take part in joint clinical-experimental presentations involving our 48 faculty members, gaining a broad exposure to current issues in diagnosis and treatment of disease. This opportunity to combine basic research and potential applications offers very exciting possibilities for a highly rewarding career.
The Pathology Department offers research training in a wide variety of areas such as immunology and transplantation, neoplasia, opthalmic pathology, cell biology, pulmonary vascular and airways disease, pulmonary edema, neurodegenerative disorders, and smooth muscle pathophysiology.
Modern techniques and equipment include light, fluorescence and electron microscopy (both transmission and scanning), laser capture, DNA analysis, cell culture, advanced immunological, pharmacological, biochemical, and physiological techniques, as well as morphometry and computer-aided analysis.
Master of Science (M.Sc.); Pathology (Thesis) (45 credits) |
---|
Graduates can directly enter rewarding careers in research, or opt to continue with their studies and obtain a Ph.D. Some combine their research training with subsequent training in medicine, law, or business administration. |
Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.); Pathology |
---|
Our graduates enter successful careers in industry, academia, government/international agencies, or clinical medicine, sometimes combining two of these options. They leave Æ»¹ûÒùÔº with experience in leadership and communication skills in addition to being highly trained in biomedical research, and their career choices include a wide range of administrative and research positions around the world. |
Applicants must have a B.Sc. or the equivalent degree with an extensive background in the physical and biological sciences. An academic record equivalent to or better than a CGPA of 3.2 out of 4.0 at Æ»¹ûÒùÔº is required for at least the two final full-time years of undergraduate training, with a minimum CGPA of 3.0 overall.
Applicants to graduate studies whose mother tongue is not English and who have not completed an undergraduate or graduate degree from a recognized foreign institution where English is the language of instruction or from a recognized Canadian institution (anglophone or francophone), must submit the GRE and TOEFL examinations in order to be properly evaluated as to their suitability. Students are normally accepted into the M.Sc. program, and those candidates showing exceptional ability may be permitted to transfer into the Ph.D. program after one year of training.
Applicants who already possess an additional degree (M.Sc., M.D.) and have some research experience may be allowed to register in the Ph.D. program directly.
Prospective students apply online at www.mcgill.ca/gradapplicants/apply.
For further information, applicants may contact the Teaching Office, Department of Pathology.
Dates for Guaranteed Consideration
For dates for guaranteed consideration, please consult the following website: www.mcgill.ca/gradapplicants/programs. Then select the appropriate program.
Applications will be considered upon receipt of:
All information is to be submitted directly to the Pathology Teaching Office.
All applications will be evaluated by the Graduate Students Committee. Candidates found suitable must then be accepted by a research director, and adequate funding must be obtained for both personal support and research expenses.
