The experimental and clinical research of the department is targeted at obtaining greater knowledge about disease mechanisms and at developing mainly molecular pathological methods for classification of diseases with a view to optimize patient treatment.
The Department of Pathology is a central part of pregraduate and postgraduate teaching programmes.

In connection with sample testing, the Patobank is used to provide information about previous patho-anatomical tests, regardless of where in Denmark such tests are conducted.
In the Patobank, detailed registration of the department’s production data is also conducted to help with financial planning and budget control, etc.
