Disease pathogenesis is the study of how diseases develop and progress within the body. This research area seeks to understand the underlying mechanisms and processes that lead to the onset and progression of various diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, infectious diseases, and autoimmune disorders. By studying disease pathogenesis, researchers aim to identify key molecular and cellular pathways involved in the development of diseases, as well as potential targets for intervention and treatment. Ultimately, this knowledge can help in the development of new therapies and strategies for preventing, diagnosing, and managing various diseases.
