Welcome to our Department

Russell Broaddus
Russell Broaddus, MD, PhD Chair Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine

The Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine at the University of North Carolina is committed to being a premier Pathology Department among state-funded medical schools.

This vision is enabled by our inter-related missions:

  1. Advocate for our patients by promoting excellence in the diagnosis and treatment of disease.
  2. Actively promote the practice of evidence-based medicine.  When evidence is lacking, we will work to provide it through basic and translational science using innovative preclinical models of disease and clinical investigation.
  3. Honor our Department’s rich history by continuing to lead research in understanding mechanisms of disease.
  4. Motivate our students, residents, and fellows to challenge dogma by encouraging an inquisitive and open learning atmosphere.
