The Laboratory of Cell Pathobiology is one of the six clinical laboratories in the Department of Veterinary Medicine of Osaka Prefecture University. It is in charge of the Department of Internal Medicine at the Veterinary Medical Center. At this center, internal medicine departments do not provide subdivided (specialized course) treatment, so we examine diseases in all fields of internal medicine, with a particular focus on hematology, endocrine disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, and oncology.
