cellular and molecular pathogenesis The study of cellular and molecular mechanisms of disease Pathogenesis Home | Division Chairman | Postdoctoral Research Positions Available The Division of Cellular and Molecular Pathogenesis, under the Chairmanship of Alphonse E. Sirica, PhD, MS, fosters high quality scholarship and provides strong predoctoral and postdoctoral training in investigative pathology, with a primary emphasis on cellular and molecular mechanisms of disease. Dr. Sirica is a Professor of Pathology and Internal Medicine. He is also directing the development of the GI Oncology Research Initiative within Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine. He is in the twenty-second year of funding for his R01 grant Hepatic Oval Cells in Culture and In Vivo, which was renewed for five years in 2007. Additionally, Dr. Sirica is PI on a second RO1 grant from the National Cancer Institute entitled Altered Growth Factor Pathways in Biliary Cancer. Research conducted by Division faculty is supported by NIH grants and other sources of extramural and intramural funding. The Division maintains modern and well-equipped laboratories located primarily on the 4th floor of Sanger Hall. In addition, it is supported by a number of core laboratories in the Department of Pathology, including molecular diagnostics facilities. The Division also oversees graduate research and education in the Department of Pathology and has sponsored a number of nationally recognized training workshops and symposia on the pathobiology of neoplasia. A number of textbooks related to experimental pathology and to the pathobiology of neoplasia have been generated by the Division, helping to support it's goal of training researchers in investigative pathology and conducting innovative basic cancer research.
