The Department of Chemical Pathology is one of the Departments in the Pathology (Laboratory Medicine) arm of the Faculty of Basic Clinical Sciences in the College of Medical Sciences of the University. Chemical Pathology is a multi-faceted discipline which intersects with a number of specialties in medicine and involves the study of alterations of biochemical compositions and mechanisms that occur in various disease processes and conditions.
The Department came into existence in the University following the establishment of the College of Medical Sciences in the University in 2018 and following the upgrading of the former Braithwaite Memorial Hospital to the Rivers State Teaching Hospital (RSUTH). The Department is gradually evolving to provide undergraduate/postgraduate academic programs, research activities, laboratory and clinical services at the newly upgraded RSUTH with the current Acting Head of Department overseeing both units in the Rivers State University and RSUTH.
