    The Gastrointestinal and Liver Pathology Faculty Assistant Program is an advanced fellowship that provides training in diagnostic gastrointestinal, liver, and pancreatic pathology. Our case material consists of in-house specimens from Johns Hopkins, as well as cases from our active consultation service. Our faculty members provide specialty experience in gastrointestinal luminal, liver pathology, and pancreatic pathology. The faculty assistant takes full responsibility for sign-out of in-house luminal gastrointestinal biopsy material and works closely with our faculty members on consult cases. The faculty assistant also participates in clinical conferences and house staff and medical student teaching. Research is an integral part of the program and may have either a clinical or an experimental emphasis. There are multiple opportunities for collaborative studies in gastroenterology and in basic research in this and other departments.

    This fellowship focuses on the neurobiology/neuropathology and pathogenic mechanisms involved in illnesses, particularly amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, Huntington’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Our group has examined in vitro and in vivo experimental systems emphasizing animal models of neurodegenerative diseases, gene targeting and transgenic approaches. Other priority areas are neurotrophic factors and their influence on injured neurons; the biology of brain tumors with an emphasis on the roles of specific genes in neoplasm and mechanisms of cell injury in hypoxia-ischemia.
