Microbiology & Pathology
Microbiology and pathology are closely linked medical sciences that together form the cornerstone of modern disease diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Pathology is the branch of medicine that studies the origins, mechanisms, and structural changes caused by diseases in the human body.
- Clinical Pathology: Analyzes bodily fluids like blood, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid to diagnose infections and conditions like leukemia or diabetes.
- Anatomical Pathology: Examines organs and tissues through histopathology (whole tissue sections) or cytopathology (individual cells) to detect cancer and other abnormalities.
