Supervisor, Cell Marker Lab

The Department of Pathology at Memorial Sloan Kettering consists of disease-specific pathologists, molecular diagnosticians, and researchers with expertise in a range of solid tumor types as well as hematopathology. Our pathologists collaborate with other specialists to customize each patients treatment based on his or her individual diagnosis. Molecular pathology and precision medicine are increasingly vital components of the work we do. Our pathologists use state-of-the-art technology and the most-advanced diagnostic techniques available to analyze thousands of tissue samples. We generate more than 170,000 diagnostic reports each year. The Hematopathology service analyzes cancers that originate in the hematolymphoid system. This includes the blood, bone marrow, lymph nodes, and other lymphoid tissues. Everyone diagnosed with a blood cancer at Memorial Sloan Kettering has their samples analyzed by a member of MSKs expert hematopathology team. The hematopathology service reviews about 20,000 samples every year. For each one, we provide a comprehensive diagnostic report that integrates complex information from morphological assessment, immunohistochemistry and flow cytometric analysis, and cytogenetic and molecular genetic studies. Our laboratories are internationally recognized for their innovation in clinical test development. In particular, we are well regarded for our development of assays to detect minimal residual disease and comprehensive proteomic and genomic analysis, for which we work with the Molecular Diagnostics Service.
