    This is a one-year ACGME-accredited fellowship that emphasizes diagnostic aspects of hematopathology. Candidates must be board eligible or certified in either anatomic pathology or anatomic and clinical pathology; combined training is preferred. The fellow is trained in morphologic examination of blood, bone marrow and lymph nodes, with emphasis on ancillary techniques. The fellow has direct responsibility for flow cytometry and immunocytochemistry, and gains experience in cytogenetics and molecular pathology. In addition, the program includes exposure to coagulation and other aspects of laboratory hematology.

    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.
