This includes annual accessions of over 40,000 in-house surgical pathology specimens, more than 8,000 of which are in the areas of gynecologic and breast pathology, as well as robust extramural consults in gynecologic and breast pathology. Our excellent intradepartmental laboratories offer a full suite of ancillary testing with extensive immunohistochemistry (including assays relevant to cutting-edge gynecologic tumor work-ups such as PD-L1, MMR, pan-TRK, BRG1, and BCOR), high and low-risk HPV RNA in situ hybridization, HER2 testing by both IHC and chromogenic ISH, a 500+ somatic tumor sequencing gene panel that includes POLE. Additionally, our biorepository and tissue research facility provides all the necessary support for research productivity, including tissue microarray construction and multicolor immunohistochemistry capabilities.
Stipend commensurate with the applicant’s postgraduate training in pathology.
