Welcome to the Department of Pathology and Cell Biology at the University of South Florida Health College of Medicine. The identification of Pathology as a discipline bridging the basic and clinical sciences is particularly true today after the recent merging of two departments (Pathology and Anatomy) within the newly created School of Basic Biomedical Sciences. In this web site you will find information on our educational, research, clinical and academic activities including short profiles of faculty and their areas of expertise as well as a list of graduate and postgraduate trainees. Our mission is to strive for excellence in teaching, research, academic service and patient care. Through its academic components of Anatomy and Pathology the Department bridges basic and clinical knowledge and constantly pursues excellence in education, training, individual as well as collaborative research and in sophisticated diagnostic and consultative services Educational and training programs include teaching of medical students, Pathology Residency and Fellowship programs, training of clinical fellows, PhD and Postdoctoral Research programs in the Biomedical Sciences with concentration in cancer biology, on site and online Master of Science programs in Anatomy. Extramurally funded basic and translational research is focused on ovarian cancer developmental and molecular biology with additional areas of interest in the neurosciences, Sertoli cell immunobiology and virtual anatomy. Clinical operations and training are based within the Department and at affiliated institutions including the NCI Comprehensive Moffitt Cancer Center, Tampa General Hospital, the James A. Haley and Bay Pines Veterans Administration Hospitals, Bayfront Medical Center, Florida Blood Services, All Children's Hospital and the Hillsborough Medical Examiner Office. Under new College leadership, a state-of-the-art Center for Advanced Health Care will provide new and exciting educational, clinical and translational research opportunity for the Department. I look forward to the evolution of the Department and its basic and clinical branches. I invite you to explore our web site and, if in the Tampa Bay area, to visit and become acquainted with multifaceted activities of the Department and its faculty, trainees and staff. Santo V. Nicosia,
M.D., M.S
