Group 1

With your support, we can achieve great things.

UAB's Department of Pathology is recognized nationally for excellence in biomedical research, undergraduate and graduate medical education, and diagnostic pathology. This rise to prominence has been accomplished through the hard work and dedication of the faculty and trainees who have made UAB a phenomenal environment for pathology education and clinical practice. However, these accomplishments would be nearly impossible without funding from our generous alumni, faculty, and friends.

Please consider making a gift to our department to support our missions of improving our education, research, and patient care. Any amount is greatly appreciated, and there are several ways to give. As always, your gift is tax-deductible.
