Chemical Pathology

Chemical Pathology is a branch of pathology which involves the analysis and interpretation of biochemical tests for screening, diagnosis, management and prevention of diseases. This field discusses the biochemical changes in a wide range of substances in blood and body fluids such as glucose, enzymes, hormones, minerals, ions, RNA, DNA and others in order to understand the etiology, pathophysiology and progression of a disease. It also encompasses fundamental biochemistry research of the structure, composition and chemical reactions of substances in living systems giving emphasis to the development, evaluation and validation of new technologies. Research in this area may include but not limited to pharmacology, physiology, microbiology, molecular biology, immunochemistry, neurochemistry, and bio-inorganic, bioorganic and biophysical chemistry.
