About this Event

Discover the Hidden Science Behind Disease: An Afternoon of Pathology Talks

Join us for a special event as part of National Pathology Week at Surgeons Hall Museum. In this engaging afternoon session, two expert clinical pathologists will take you behind the scenes of modern medicine to explore:

  • What is inflammatory disease, and how does inflammation cause harm?
  • How do pathologists detect and diagnose cancer?

Pathology is the science of understanding disease, how it starts, spreads, and affects the body. From blood disorders to infections and cancer, pathologists play a vital role in diagnosing illness and guiding treatment.

This talk will also highlight the fascinating specimens housed in the Whol Pathology Museum, which showcase the physical effects of disease on the human body.

Whether you’re curious about the human body or eager to learn more about disease, this is a unique opportunity for everyone to explore and discover.
