Pathology and Laboratory Medicine

General Pathology and Disease Mechanisms

General Pathology and Disease Mechanisms focuses on the fundamental principles underlying the development and progression of diseases at the cellular and molecular levels. This session provides a comprehensive understanding of how normal physiological processes are disrupted, leading to pathological conditions that affect tissues and organs.

The session will explore key mechanisms of disease, including cell injury, adaptation, apoptosis, necrosis, inflammation, immune responses, and genetic mutations. It will also highlight how environmental, infectious, and lifestyle factors contribute to disease initiation and progression.
