Interesting research topics in pathology?

Is anyone involved in any interesting pathology research? Or does anyone have any ideas that they've always thought about looking into but never got around to?

If you can't guess it's a slow Saturday here and I'm trying to keep myself sane while on call...... 😴

I wonder if this is not a question you should be asking your research mentor? 🙂

To put things in perspective - this is an Internet forum and the cool people who hang out here are mostly residents and medical students.

My guess is that you're a med student - but let me know if I'm wrong.

If you're interested in research (and you don't have to be), then your first task should be to find yourself a mentor. Med students aren't called upon to provide the idea that fuels the project. A prof who takes research students will be much better placed to find an appropriate project, since they are leaders in their field of interest.

Actually I'm a premed, but I was just trying to make conversation (I'm already working on a research project of my own). Like I said, I'm stuck at home today on call for work and can't really do anything so I was trying to stir up a little discussion on stuff.....
