EDUCATIONAL TITLES

  • Austin L. Vickery Professor of Pathology, Pathology, Harvard Medical School
  • Director, Hematopathology, Massachusetts General Hospital

Research Abstract

Our group works on characterization and classification of human lymphoid neoplasms using immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry as well as histopathology. We are interested in collaborations that will permit clinical correlations with pathologic features of neoplasms. Microdissection and tissue microarray capabilities are available.
