Curriculum Vitae

Current Positions:

Assistant Professor of Pathology, Department of Pathology
Associate Residency Program Director, Department of Pathology

Clinical Focus and Research:

My clinical focus is on the pathologic diagnosis of benign and malignant breast lesions, and malignant lesions of the GI tract, liver and pancreas.  I work with our multi-disciplinary breast group and GI group to ensure that each patients’ pathologic diagnosis is sufficiently informative allowing for the most effective and appropriate care.

My primary research interest is identifying novel markers for breast cancer that can be used for both pathologic diagnosis and guiding clinical management decisions.
