Welcome to the Department
of Pathology and Molecular Medicine


Welcome to the Department of Pathology and Molecular Medicine of Queen’s University.  Our Department is uniquely placed at the interface between basic biomedical science and clinical medicine.  Our dedicated faculty deliver a broad array of highly integrated programs in fundamental and translational research, diagnostic laboratory services and education. In doing so, our Department has a distinctive role in the School of Medicine in that it serves as both a basic science department, with its attendant academic responsibilities, and a clinical department responsible for the delivery of complex laboratory services in the teaching hospitals.

Researcher Spotlight

Dr. Xiaolong Yang has received a three-year research grant from Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation (CBCF)

2012 May 03

Dr. Xiaolong Yang has received $449,100 for a three-year research grant from Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation (CBCF) to study the roles of several novel genes in chemotherapeutic drug resistance of breast cancer.

Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women worldwide and is responsible for one third of all cancer deaths of women in Canada. One of the difficulties encountered in breast cancer therapy is that breast cancer patients are usually either intrinsically resistant to chemotherapeutic drugs or acquire resistance after initial treatment, which results in cancer recurrent following primary chemotherapy. The research findings from this project will not only has the potential to significantly advance our understanding of the molecular mechanism underlying drug resistance but also has great implication for the future development of novel therapeutic drugs for the successful treatment of drug-resistant breast cancer patients.
