Experimental Pathology

Director:  Steven Post, Ph.D.

Mission

To provide the Department of Pathology with a recognized research program that furthers our understanding of the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of disease.

Objectives

  • To integrate clinical and basic research efforts within the Department of Pathology
  • To facilitate intra- and inter- departmental collaborations

Experimental Pathology Faculty Profiles

  • Behjatolah Karbassi, Ph.D.: Tumor glycobiology and metastasis, and tumor immunotherapy
  • Thomas Kelly, Ph.D: Stromal cell interactions in cancer growth, invasion and metastasis
  • Mayumi Nakagawa, M.D., Ph.D.: Cell-mediated immunity to human papillomaviruses (HPV) and developing HPV therapeutic vaccines
  • Steven Post, Ph.D. : Macrophages, scavenger receptors, and inflammation

In addition, clinical faculty in the Department of Pathology are active in both clinical and basic research and are available for consultation and collaboration. Information about their research interests can be found their Profiles pages.

Translational Pathology Shared Resources

The Translational Pathology Shared Resources include the Experimental Pathology Core Lab and the UAMS Tissue Biorepository and Procurement Service (TBAPS).

The Experimental Pathology Shared Resource Laboratory provides UAMS researchers with centralized, comprehensive histological services. Jennifer James serves as manager of this lab.

The UAMS Tissue Biorepository and Procurement Service is an institution-wide tissue procurement facility that serves to coordinate and oversee the donation, processing, storage, and dissemination of tissue specimens and related data. Remelle Eggerson serves as manager of this facility.

Pathobiology Graduate Track

Pathobiology is an interdisciplinary field that strives to understand the mechanisms of disease at fundamental levels. The Pathobiology Track is an option for graduate students enrolled in the GPIBS program at UAMS. The Pathobiology Track offers students a flexible program of advanced study and research in experimental pathobiology, and the opportunity to be mentored by a wide range of basic science and clinical faculty who share a common interest in understanding the molecular basis of human disease. The Pathobiology Track offers flexibility in its program to permit each student to pursue the most effective course of study and research.
